Beauty of organization

Or maybe luck of it. It is not that I lost my faith, or that I think it is not worth. I think it is more than ever, I think it’s extremely worth it when I speak with each single person who went through international eXPerience. In the time of internet and globalization with “everyone speaking English and able to travel easily…” going abroad with @ is just a must do- seeing how people changes. How different is their perception of themselves and world around… believe me you cannot be without it, simply for me you cannot but the question stays à is it beautiful – beloved abused, making me sick world…;-).
Is it beautiful when you need Outgoing Preparation Seminar cause through one-year activity you didn’t meet or met on intern? Is it beautiful cause there are not enough hosts in the LC or in town such as Warsaw and some freaks able to give the bed to strangers even straight after conference? Is it beautiful when in Sofia international, MC member needs to pick up intern from the airport and host in the dormitory? Is it beauty when it is so hard to find hosts before and after conference? Host for MCPs, host for MCs- super leaders of organization developing leaders?
So dear AIESEC member I bet most of the people reading my posts are @cers or still close to it.
Next time when u feel f*** tired and busy when sb asks you for help, for chat, for sharing these precious 2 square meter of your floor and maybe some water… think what is it cultural sensitivity, what do you really know about current world? What do you know about people living in another town what about another continent? Are you proud of your country and culture? Why don’t u feel like promoting it and showing to foreigners? You don’t feel like this? So what do u do to change it? Do you love travelling? So why in the organization connecting high potential people in rapidly growing network members are not able to travel around the world and enjoy hosts who shall have the similar point of view and interest in world issues and developing their @change agent leadership characteristics?
Hm and you super cool developed alumni or supposed to be one… what did u get out of this shit of raising sweets and making phonecalls- ah yes work in some corpo… is it too idealistic to believe that you can have friend around the world and open mind???
Think and again and one more time if you need – are you satisfied with what you are? With what you stand for? So what do you know about other cultures? About other people? Why are you so scared of unknown? Is you value measured by your actions, by leading, by having impact or by direction resulting for the pressure of the crowd ???
The difference between picking up intern and not maybe feeling relaxed and comfortable, or increasing your comfort zone cause you were kicked out of it by person who hasn’t eaten muesli before but has so much balance that you will be never able to get.
The difference between staying in the country and going on internship – money, flat, or knowing your direction, being able to say no to common direction, seeing new perspective letting you not to take care of small stuff…
Living or living?
It’s up to u;-)
