Why you are here...

I still remember in the Leadership Team Meets 05...
My mentor (Hong :) ) told me that AIESEC is a place for you to dream....
I didn't quite get it at that moment...
I didn't quite get it when I was in IC05...
I didn't quite get it when I was working days and nights for NLDS...
I didn't quite get it even when I was in IC06....

But I get it now...

When you are so involved, engaged and devoted to what you are doing...sometimes you just take it for granted...
Though you make this mistake so many times, you still will make the same mistake again and again...
So, just dream what you dream....and do what you dream....treasure your time in this organization, don't let any of the opportunities to slip through your fingers, get hold of them, do you best, always...
There are not many places in this world you can dream...
Sometimes...Reality is cruel....
Enjoy your time here....
It shouldn't take a long time, maybe just 1 or 2 years later, you will realize how wonderful this place is...

Ricky is an alumni of AIESEC in Hong Kong now.

There was a moment in the lowest and hardest time of my AIESEC career when I looked in the mirror and asked myself "Why are you here...?" The answer is because I want to ensure more and more people get the opportunity to experience what I've experienced; grow like I've grown over the years; discover what I've discovered.

To create more opportunities to dream.
