In life, we never rehearsal but only perform!
VK reminded us this at the 4th week transition checkout. All of us are so pumped and cannot wait to go for our first battle – AI planning week! In the board room, the outgoing team seems a bit sentimental. Maybe we reminded them of who they were and how they were one year back. Maybe they really loved this year and don’t want to leave in 4 weeks time.
I was completely caught by the ‘rehearsal’ and ‘perform’ ways of addressing life. Maybe I was unconsciously performing in the past 4 weeks while I think I was rehearsing? Responsibilities will flood to me after the planning week. There is no way to hide myself behind Liv. It is somehow scary and somehow exciting understanding that there is no room in AIESEC that can solve the problems for this entire organization apart from us. While I was an MCP, I can easily bitch AIESEC International for not giving enough support. But right now, I can only blame myself for not supporting countries enough, not addressing their needs. The exciting part is finally we can start to plan for our year, our strategies and actions to transform this organization. Very soon, we see all the countries, a new batch of MCs at IC in India, a crucial point for this organization to fight for the right direction and solutions and give it a go.
Another interesting reminder from VK – we view the LCs from the LC perspective and view AI from the LC perspective as well. Is AI perspective conflicts with LC perspective? When I was in MC, I always feel the difference between how MC and LC make decisions. Gaining AI perspective means losing LC perspective? If so, why are we here? For sure, we don’t need to address AI need while AI is even not necessary for this organization. Yet, it is hard to regain LC perspective while we are all several years away from it. I am sitting here trying to insert the LC perspective chip into my brain.
I first time spammed the whole organization. I first time wrote to all the AP MCPs yesterday. It is yet easier to be an MCP and bitch about AI though putting lots of faith in AI compared to being a Director trying to live up to my countries’ expectations. What does AP need? How AP can grow regarding its potential? How to create synergy within AP? I feel I always have more questions than answers. I always worry that I am more fluffy than concrete.
It is the last day before planning week. Prepared or unprepared, yet need to perform!

GOoD LuCk !!!
I guess life is like this... We try to perform well when we are still trying to get ready.
Anyway, enjoy the process as much as possible. It is great learning no matter what the result is! :)
