The thing to do

Knowing what needs done
versus..
Doing what needs done


Will you know what needs to be done and do it
Or do you pretend to know what needs doing?


Well i guess it depends...

i spent most of my life doing 'things'
Things i enjoyed... hated... shameful things... unecessary things etc

But what about things that you do because you have to? the things that others expect you to do and you know you have to comply.


The question playing in my mind right now is....

Is that the only choice i have?

are the consequences fatal to me?

or are the consequences fatal to them instead?

what do i get in return?

happiness of doing something i don't enjoy doing?

or knowing that all that i hate doing is actually, technically and well deservedly the right thing to do?

Thoughts of an LCP - post IC

It's been awhile since i've posted up an entry. Well one of the reasons was i was in Brazil a couple of weeks back for International Congress 2008(IC08). I spent 3 amazing weeks on a foreign land surrounded by people from more than 106 countries and not to mention spending a whole bucket full of cash. Why 106 countries?? That's because in AIESEC we are officially in 106 countries(not including the expansion countries).

It's hard to describe the experience. In fact i don't know how to describe it. IC08 to me wasn't that great of a conference. To tell you the truth, while during the conference i was measuring the impact IC08 has on me and i personally think Xcapade and Malaysian conferences gave me more impact. The funny thing is, I only started to feel the impact a few weeks after IC08. I wouldn't say that its a huge impact but it definitely was something. :) Being in a room with over 600 people and making friends from a different continent with totally opposite cultures. That's the diversity that the AIESEC network offers.

I had an opportunity... i grabbed it... and I'm satisfied with it

OR you could say it this way..

I worked hard in what i do and oppurtunity found me instead

The reason for this is.. opportunities do not come just like that. You are your opportunity. You need to lift your ass and do something before you get an opportunity. Create your opportunity and it will come. :)


Right now I'm burrowing myself into assignments and projects which i know nuts about. 2 weeks skipping classes. Is it worth all the trouble?? Yes it definitely was worth all the trouble :)
