From Alumni about The Progressive Generation

Personal quote: “Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall.”       (Confucius)

1. What made you join AIESEC and how has that decision influenced your future?

      I have joined AIESEC in March 2007; it was my second try to be accepted in AIESEC. My reason to get in the organization was that I liked the Idea that AIESEC was promoting the fact that we can become something more important in our own lives and a small part of a bigger mechanism that can slowly change in better the world in which we live. Today I still believe that we can change our lives if we find the inner balance and the best position to look over the surrounding world and grasp the reality.

2. Can you describe how you have progressed as a member in this organization?

      As a member in AIESEC Ploiesti I tried to develop my skills and to improve myself as much as possible. I never chose to run for a position of leadership position but I was trying to get involved in all the projects because all the time I believed that a true leader can’t arise if he is not capable to understand and do what his followers must accomplish under his leadership. After a time I chose to take the opportunity and challenge of an internship so I end up for 6 months in The Netherlands working for a Dutch company. This internship has changed my hall life, at this moment I’m still working for the same Dutch company being there Area Manager for Romania country.

3. How can you define a progressive generation?

      I think it is all about becoming better, but this better it is about self-control, understanding of the surrounding environment and adaptation at anything that might challenge you. The adaptation must not drive you from your own path of justice and from your beliefs and principles. If someone is thinking at progress it is a must to be able to grasp the future on long term, to have tons of patience and not in the end knowledge and wisdom to know what to do with this future. Also a progressive generation it must be able to assimilate or to embrace/accept any kind of culture and ideas that will bring peace and fulfillment for the human kind. I think the progress can be achieved if you have couple of this:

Wisdom

Knowledge

Morality

Desire to build

Selflessness
