It's been a while since my last post here. Looks like I get to write less and less. Sometimes I think I should take more time and write more often, sometimes I think blogging is not me anymore and I should stop writing; anyways I'm in the mood now so here I am blogging some of the things crossing my mind.

This year was by far the most powerful and intense period of my life. It's funny how despite the many professional, rather technical aspects of a president's job is the amount of personal value. So many personal beliefs defining and strengthening inside me and so many "aha moments" happening this year. I'm gonna take some time in the next days to share them with you, so stay tuned. :)

Yours truly,
Marius.

When being there matters the most

2006-10-26T04:56:00.000-07:00

I found a very interesting article about it on Tom Peters' blog that said that being there is the heart of the matter with a very simple yet great example. You can read it bellow:

The other day a close friend was really upset about a professional thing. I was at a loss as to how to be helpful. When he finished his tale, I for once shut my mouth. All the way. No advice. No request for more details. Or clarifications. I was in fact at a loss for words, but that's almost beside the point.

I simply sat with him, both of us in total silence, for what felt like an eternity, but was probably no more than 10 minutes. He slowly got up, and simply said, "Thanks for being here."

I guess we all know this, even me, the noisy one: There are times—not so infrequent—where just being there—and silent—is the best gift of understanding and support you can provide.

Strikingly true,
Marius.

I don't know who these wishes belong too exactly, but these are the type of thoughts that can make you realise more about leadership than you ever knew. They can make you overcome any dam' dissapointment and walk in front stronger than you ever could thought that you can be. Although I'm not the author I totally subscribe to the lines bellow:

I sincerely wish you to have the experience of thinking up a new idea, planning it, organizing it and following it to completion, then having it to be magnificently succesful. I also hope you go through the same process and have something fail terribly.

I wish you could know how it feels to run for something with all your heart and loose horribly. I wish that you could achieve some great good for mankind and have nobody know about it except you.

I wish you could find something terribly worthwhile that you deem worthy of devoting your whole life. I hope you become frustrated and dissatisfied enough to begin to push back the very barriers of your own personal limitation. I hope you make a stupid unethical mistake and get caught red handed andare big enough to say the magical words: "I was wrong!".

I hope you give so much of yourself that some days you wonder if it's worth at all. I wish for a magnificent obsession that will give you a reason for living, purpose, direction and elan in life. I wish for you the worst kind of criticism for everything you do, because that makes you fight to achieve beyond what you normally would!

I wish for you the experience of LEADERSHIP!!!

Yours truly,
Marius.

Local Planing Meeting in AIESEC Targu Mures - romanian version

Dupa 6 luni de E.B. urmeaza o conferinta in care noi AIESEC Targu Mures vom crea o noua fata al AIESEC Targu Mures. Avem o viziune cum vrem sa fie AIESEC Targu Mures iar aceasta viziune incepe sa fie pusa in practica, primul pas e LPM.

Vrem continuitate, vrem ca viitorul EB sa lucreze si sa construiasca pe acesta viziune.
Nu vrem o noua revolutie din partea viitorului EB.

Vrem sa respectam identitatea nostra:

I = Incredere in reusita

E= Eficienta si eficacitate (facem ce spunem ca facem)

S= Simplitate (fara brainwalsh :P)

T= Team work

A= Actiune - rezultate concrete

AIESEC Targu Mures Vision:

LET'S MAKE HISTORY

Some great days

2006-07-17T01:38:00.000-07:00

Last week I had some nice days with my EB colleagues. It all started with a short meeting on Tuesday, when we proved we can be efficient and we can finish on time. This is great, the EB meetings don’t last more than 2 hours this year. :)
We continued with 2 days of trainings on Public Speaking and Facilitating, in order to prepare for the LPM. There were to great days because during the simulations we had the chance to find new things about us, non @ stuff.
On Friday after a meeting with our members we decided to watch a movie. Roxi was our host. It was really nice, we had the chance to talk and have fun. In the morning we had to go to the train station because the girls from Holland were coming and because it was really late, we all decided to stay at Roxi and sleep for 2 hours and then go wait for the girls. It was nice, for me at least, in the morning when we had to weak up and the boys were tired and wanted to sleep some. Unfortunatelly they couldn’t and now they probably hate me :) :) :)
Anyway we had some nice moments last week but I am sure this week we will continue because there are still training waiting for us and a lot of things to prepare for LPM.

There are many things you can discover about people around you, especially when you work so many hours with them.

Proud to be in a great team,
Hermy

A great conference

2006-07-04T02:23:00.000-07:00

I want to share with you one of the best conference I attended this weekend, the TTT. Since I joined AIESEC I had the opportunity to attend some national and local conference. I like national conferences and I thought this will be similar with the ones I attended so far. Many people told me that TTT is a different experience and that I will see many different things. They were wright, starting with the things I learned there and getting to the people I meet.
When we first arrived there we knew it will be different, the surroundings were great, the caban and the conditions we had were totally different from the ones we had so far at a conference. If I have to think what I liked the best there is really hard, because everything had something nice. The sessions were interesting, we had sessions with Andrei Popescu, Doru Dinu, Adishor and the NTT members from which we learned a lot, some of the things I allready knew but it was great to hear them again because in this way they were more clear for my and now I know better how to apply them.
The people attending this conference were also great. We were not many but we had a great networking experience, because we had to share the 3 rooms, the bathroom and the food. Also the home groups we had and the exercises we had to do together during the sessions helped us get to know each other better and share our experience. I moment which I really liked was the one preparing the training because we were helping each other with ideas, we were encouraging ourselves and we were also having fun.
I feel sorry that there 3 days are over but I now that I am back I want to put in practice the things I've learned there and improve my skills. Regarding the people I've meet, I've gained some new friend which I hope I will see again.

Hopping to have more experiences of this kind,
Hermy

To be part of a team

2006-06-10T00:32:00.000-07:00

This blog is supposed to be a jurnal for us where we share some of our feelings and experiences. Well I want to share some of the things I felt yesterday. It was an intereseting day for me. It all started with having a goal setting with Marius. It was more a discusion about what being in EB realy is and how I would like to see things this year.
Some of the things we discussed made me think about the nice time I had in the EB last year, a year full of great experiences from which I’ve learned a lot. But it also made me think about the year of EB I just started and about the moments we shared so far. It is interesting to see 6 people with different personalities working together, learning together and sharing experience. A moment that came into my mind was the National Congress a conference where we helped each other in finding gold while playing The Lost Dutchmand, where we helped each other while planning and trying to be on time, where we had some fun and discovered new things about ourselves.
This is just one great moment I think we lived so far but I know there are more to come. Because this year I want to have a year of change, I want this change to be in my @ life also. And to start I want to be part of this great team, I want to work with it, create things together, share moments and experiences and say at the end that not only AIESEC changed my life but also the people I’ve meet here and worked with.

Hermy

The leadership experience is too intense, too complex and too full of learning too keep it for ourselves. So here u have it, the diary of our EB life, the place where u can have an insight look about what an EB position can mean.

Let this be only the beginning,
Marius.
