Every day starts today
On my way back home I was thinking about special moments I remember from IC..
.. intro speech of David - our chair. He showed us the picture of his daughters and said wonderful thing: "Why did I come to IC? I want my daughters to live in the better world. That's why I am spending my time here, with the best leaders of the future.."
..morning plenary on day 2. [The weather wasn't good, it was raining almost all day long]. We were supposed to discuss positive moments from the previous day and a girl from Qatar (origionally Brazil) shared that her best moment of the day was when she saw the rain.. When I asked her "WHY?", she answered: "I still didn't get used to the fact that in Qatar it's not raining.." I was thinking: "How often we undervalue simple things"
..official dinner. CC invited Polish pianist to play. I bet that in the beginning everyone felt it's gonna be boring show. You can't imagine how he made the concert! I have never laughed so much at piano concert! It was amazing and fun:) How much you must LOVE what you do - I thought at that moment
..speech of Brodi in the end of AI 05-06 report session. He said: "My biggest dream.. I want AIESECers to be the people who understand the meaning of life"
..talk with LCP from Brazil during break. We were talking for half a hour and he was sharing that his biggest passion is energy, but so far he couldn't find anybody interested in this issue in his LC, however he is so much determined to recruit people who are passionate about energy like him. It's amazing to have true passions in life - I felt.
.."DON'T CHANGE" - a poster on the wall in the dormitory. It was a poster of ABN-AMRO bank asking young talents to be yourselves and not change and fight for what you stand for.
These are small things that make a conference so special..

it was amazing to read all your memories from IC;
very often we forget what for AIESEC exists?, what is our main goal?, why we do exchange?, why we are here?
we are very "busy" people - we are working on the strategy, writing the plans, new documents... but how often do you thing the question over: what for I am doing all those things?? how often do you meet people from other countries and talk to them, learn their habits and cultures?
your "memories" remaind me one more time that I was in AIESEC, because I want to change the World :)
