Communication, Change, Speed, Equilibrium, Control

Today we have access to a lot more communication tools than 20 or 10 years ago, but still, there is a big lack of communication between us. I am gratefully to facebook, gmail, skype, MSN and all the other tools that give me the possibility to keep in touch with all my friends all over the world, but I will always prefer a face to face conversation if the conditions are allowing it.

Change, a word that I´m hearing and I´m using more and more often :

The change is being felt everywhere...

- the global warming

- Obama the first black American President

- the economic crisis

- the company I´m working for

- me, my way of looking at things

.... this are only a few examples ....

And the speed, the speed of all this events and things that are making a change ... sometimes everything is so fast and sometimes so slow ...

And in this chaos we are trying to find an equilibrium. But what is this equilibrium? Can it be defined ?

Well I don´t quite know, but I´m sure that is different for each one of us.

Everybody wants to control the speed of this changes to find that equilibrium ...

Can it be that communication is the key for all of this ?

My Life in Portugal

No words to describe this film are necessary.

Lot´s of thanks to my friends who made this movie, and lots of thanks to the people that are in it.

One week ago I was accepting with great honor and excitement, the invitation to be the chair of a conference that Ricardo, LCP of AIESEC PORTO FEP, was addressing to me.

The conference ended 2 days ago, but I still have flashes is my mind, with everything that happened, with the people I met, with the fun I had, with the things I learned.

Everything started on Thursday night, 23rd of October. At 21:30 I was in FEP, meeting with the EB (Executive Board) of AIESEC Porto FEP and with the OC (Organizing Committee) of the conference. In that night we defined what expectations we have one from each other, and we prepared the final materials for the conference.

After 2 hours of sleep, we were heading to Sao Pedro Do Sul, the city that was about to host us for 3 days. Once arrived at the location, we start arranging all the logistics so that when the delegates will arrive everything will be set.

And so we started …

There were 3 full days in which I´ve been totally connected to what AIESEC means. Plenary, people, ice-breakers, great conversations, energy, time tracking, feedback, roll calls, chaos, agenda, coffee, sessions, fun, boat race, meetings.
What are the most valuable things that I have after this conference:

1. Meeting Daudo. The national coach of AIESEC Porto FEP. Talking to him or only his simply presence was very helpful for me.

2. Working close with the EB, getting to know them better, debating the issues that appeared between them and the trainees, seeing them opening their hearts in front of the members, realizing what great persons they are, wanting to know them even better.

3. Meeting new people. Getting to know young Portuguese people that are full of dreams and energy, and are willing to go out there in the world to experience and learn.

4. Having some of the trainees for one night, in the conference. Watching them being involved and sharing their experience with the members, brought me fresh energy.


I can truly say that it was one of my best AIESEC experiences !!!

Lets take a look to our past ... or maybe to our future

Today, 21st of October 2008, the official inauguration of the LHC will take place.

This project was initiated by CERN - The European Organization for Nuclear Research. It took 20 years to build the Large Hadron Collider, and it costs 3,76 billions euro.

Very shortly, this gigantic machine will spin 2 beams of subatomic particles in opposite directions, until they reach the speed of light, and then will collide them. Basically, the creation of the Universe or the Big Bang will be recreated at a smaller scale. Due to this experiment, important data will be generated, and maybe some questions about our world will find an answer.

Courios to see the final result !

No fear

I shall not fear.
The fear kills the mind.
The fear is paltry death, the carrier of total abolition.
I will face the fear!
I will let it pass over me, through me.
And after it would have passed, I will turn my inner eye and I will look behind it. Where the fear has passed, it will be nothing left.

It will be just me!
