Future

Yesterday I opened the MCP Application of AIESEC in HONG KONG Session 0809. When I passed the button "send", I felt so much. I took a deep breath and at the same time, had a tear running out from my eyes.

I eventually will have a successor after 1.5 month. I was about going to say "hopefully" but I didn't, I do believe in AIESEC in HONG KONG and I know there are always someone who CARES. They care and they wanna make changes, they wanna make changes so they stay and take actions. There's how I and what made me became.

"The world is full of people whose notion of a satisfactory future is, in fact, a return to the idealised past."

Someone said that to me and it made me think for quite a while.... what we think about future, is it really the things that we couldn't finish in the past or at least, not ideally or perfectly done in the past so we pick it up again and say that we're gonna do it better in the future? It might confuse people what is "legacy". Is it about what's left behind and must be continually to do or just undone the mistakes in the past and put it on the right track?

Loans of questions...When I was an elect, lots of questions about the organization, people and stuff passed in my head. I wanted to do so much and eventually, I learn to stay focus and prioritize. It's the rule of the game in AIESEC, you're not like CEOs in Corporate that like you're having 10 years to implement your long term strategies but much shorter, say 1 year. It's good to train up the leaders to stay focus and make constantly progress, and its bad that it's hard to identify what should be kept and what to start. Here in AIESEC, I learnt one thing:

What happens when the future has come and gone?

Thinking too much doesn't help, taking actions is the most important thing. Thinking for too long and too hard, the future already might come and gone. So TAKING ACTIONS.

Second, if the future has come and gone, what would I do differently? Did I do the right thing? Did I grap the opportunity and the moment?

At the end... The future belongs to those who prepare for it today. We don't received Wisdom, we must discover it for ourselves after ajourney that no one can take for us or spare us. It's about just ME, MYSELF.
