1000+ ways of global change || Caracicatriz


Have you ever had the feeling, walking alone down the street, that you should do something to improve the world you’re living in? Have you ever wanted to stop a man, in the middle of the street, and say „dude, you’re doing it wrong!” ?I did…but I never had the courage.

I’m sure that most people would like to see some changes in the world but also, these people are sometimes to busy or to lazy to start doing themselfs something good for the humankind. And that is because they think it takes very much power to be able to do it. Maybe true. But the thing they aren’t aware of is that nobody gives you the power, you just take it!

First of all, I would like to emphasize the most important thing that people should change: the way they see themselfs, meaning the way in which they think people see them. It is very important, because when you are not confident and you say „I won’t do this because I can’t”, you will just go with the flow and wake up in 20 years thinkin’: „I should have done it…”, but it will be too late.

Negative beliefs are like a car’s handbrake. Having a negative belief is like wanting to get to your destination with the handbrake pulled. It will always pull you back. But a positive belief will push you from the back and help you reach your goal. Changing our negative beliefs with positive ones, will definitely improve our lives.

Secondly, we, people, are strange creatures. We love emotions, but we don’t know how to control them.

Have you ever wondered how we, humans, associate the problematic situations with pain? How come everytime something bad happens with us, we automatically tend to suffer?

Well, there’s this thing called „fear”. That tendency to suffer comes, not because of the problem itself, but because of the fear we have that we are not able to solve it. For example, suffering doesn’t show up when somebody steals your wallet, but when you think you will not recover it; fear doesn’t apear immediately when you girlfriend / boyfriend leaves you, but when you think that you will never be that happy again. The event itself does not hurt us, it’s just what we think about that event.

How would it be, if you could go through any event, with peace and calm, with an emotional state that helps you get the right decisions, and not block any sense of reason? If we could control our emotions, we wouldn’t make so many mistakes.

I think one of the greatest illusions of our lives is that our emotions are dependent on the surrounding events… and it’s wrong. The events around us “suggest” certain emotions. Depends on us if we accept them or change them with others.

So, only after you are able to control your feelings, your emotions, you could easily edit your behaviors and this will eventually change the events around you.

When you look around you, with eyes of joy or sorrow, which you know they can change in a second, you should have a different view of life. That means personal development: feeling like another person, feeling like you’ve changed the way of thinking.

In the end, the thing I’m trying to say is : „Dude, you’re doing it wrong!”.

1000+ ways of global change || Tamboi's Blog

Schimbarea lumii e o responsabilitate destul de mare. Nu stiu daca sunt suficient de capabil sa imi asum o astfel de responsabilitate, insa daca as avea ocazia dea experimenta, iata o lista cu lucrurile pe care le-as implementa:

  • fara bani. Scurt, simplu, la obiect. Serviciile sa se plateasca cu alimente, produse sau alte servicii. Si un plafon maxim admis pentru “avere”. Nimeni nu are ce face cu mai mult de o masina, cu mai mult de o casa sau cu mai multa mancare decat poate consuma.
  • fara arme. Pentru solutionarea problemelor de orice natura dintre state, propun inlocuirea razboaielor armate cu confruntari intre echipe de fotbal. Si sa nu aud de diferente de valoare. Cu 2-3 brazilieni, oricine are o sansa. De ce sa bagi n miliarde de dolari in armament, cand iti poti cumpara 20 de Ronaldo. Insa obligatoriu sa se introduca mingi cu microchipuri, ca sa nu se mai anuleze goluri aiurea.
  • 3 reguli simple dupa care omenirea sa se ghideze: 1) o fiinta umana nu va face niciodata rau altei fiinte umane, indiferent de natura afrontului. 2) nicio fiinta umana nu va dauna mediului inconjurator 3) Incalcarea primelor 2 reguli se pedepseste cu moartea (trebuie insa sa facem rost de arme sau de bani)
  • increderea in FEMEIE. Intreaga putere de decizie si de conducere sa le apartina. De ce? fiindca pana acum nu am avut ocazia sa vedem cu adevarat ce s-ar intampla daca ar face-o. Si am mare incredere in ele.

Poti schimba lumea daca incepi cu tine. Apoi cu cei din jur. Important e sa incerci sa o schimbi in bine si sa reusesti sa nu o schimbi in mai rau.

1000+ ways of global change || Open tomorrow

Sunt atâtea lucruri pe care le-aș schimba. Nici măcar nu știu de unde să încep.

În mare parte, la noi în țară, suntem călcați în picioare de politicieni, și probabil acesta ar fi principalul lucru pe care l-aș schimba. Când toată lumea se plânge că nu are bani, ei scad din pensii, salarii, burse, alocații și mai știu eu ce.

Se fura în țara aceasta și nimeni nu face nimic. De ce oare? Nu avem putere? Ne este frică? Oricare ar fi motivul, e timpul să trecem peste și să facem o schimbare.

Sunt sătul de toate prostiile din țara aceasta, și cred că și voi sunteți la fel. Stau acum și mă întreb… Oare suntem una dintre ultimele țări încă în situație de criză? Sau e doar o altă înșelătorie a celor de la conducere pentru a face și mai mulți bani? Nimeni nu știe cu siguranță. Putem doar să dăm cu presupusul. Cert este că avem nevoie de o schimbare.

Țara se duce de râpă. Au trecut 20 de ani de când a cazut regimul comunist, și parcă ajungem să o ducem din ce în ce mai prost. Sunt chiar atât de lacomi? Sau aș putea spune: Chiar atât de indiferenți și inconștienți?
Vrem o schimbare!! Și aceasta este o rugăminte ce aș putea spune că vine din partea unei Românii întregi și nu numai a mea.

Eu unul, dacă aș avea puterea, aș schimba modul în care gândește lumea. Tot mai mulți doresc să aibă bani, putere, faimă, iar vechile valori umane se risipesc (cum am mai menționat și în celelalte posturi). Poate am fost cam negativist în rândurile de mai sus, dar nu încerc decât să scot la iveala ceea ce nu este în regulă în această țară.

Dacă aș avea puterea să schimb ceva….aș schimba lumea, astfel încât să existe un echilibru bun în tot ceea ce există. Este ceva fictiv, ireal? Un vis?….. Da! Dar fiecare are câte un vis, mai mult sau mai puțin real, care se îndeplinește sau nu. Fiecare dintre noi dorește să schimbe ceva în lumea aceasta.

Voi ce ați schimba?

1000+ ways of global change || As above so below

How i would change the world?

First of all i believe that we need to find out what "the world" is exactly for us. I for example, live in my own little world, which i love. It has tons of flaws but they are flaws that are accepted by me because they were born from me. That's right, I have my own universe, my own world with people that i allow inside.

If we look at the world as a total of 7 billion people... Oh well, this is a different story. It is extremely hard to change 1 person. It is almost impossible to take a group of people and make all of them have the same ideas, to fight for the same goals. Our world has, at the moment, 7 billion different pieces. Why we reached this point? I have no idea... Maybe it's because we live in a high-speed environment, maybe it's because happiness became overrated- we want money more than happiness, maybe we are too many and our thoughts interfere at a subconscious level in a negative way, maybe it's because we are going through a financial crisis, maybe it's because being a "good kid" and having good grades at school is so 2000 and late, maybe it's because we reached a point when because of your life experiences we only care about ourselves and a handful of other people, maybe it's because we became too old...

I do believe that in order to fix a problem we need to see what were the causes. Obviously some things are unchangeable. For example I saw countless of documentaries outlining the fact that we aren't appreciating what Planet Earth offers us, that we are wasting precious resources and that we need to start recycling now, to use alternative ways of getting for example electricity. Hell yea! I totally agree! I want to be Earth friendly too! But...

I may be wrong but as far as i know it takes ages for coal or oil to be naturally formed. It took like millions of years for a mountain to be created, it takes several decades for a tree to grow. It's true, if we start recycling now, our children children children children's will live in a better world. They will have a better living knowing that the Earth can sustain them for several generations more.

My question is: Why the hell we want to do this NOW? Why nobody else was trying to do the things we talk about at the moment like 50 or 100 years ago? Could it be because kids were kids till they became teenagers and teenagers till 30? Was life carefree then? Seriously now, are we doing our best to reach adulthood at the age of 20?! From my point of view this is stupid, I heard that being an adult sucks big time. I've been through crappy adult situations and after i managed to succeed, the joy wasn't quite as sweet as when i was 12 and Santa brought me a Tetris portable console.

Yep, being an adult sucks! Responsibility is painful! Our minds create for themselves an outer shell, like an armor, after each crappy situation we've been through. Either the ending was happy, either not, when we grow up our minds become harder to change. We "gain" our own strange ideas, our own conceptions based on what we've experienced so far. I won't claim I'm right about this and I'm sure that not all of us have this blockade at the intellectual level.

Getting back to the main topic, I think there are more than 1.000.000 ways to change the world but most likely only 10 of them have realistic chances to succeed. I keep seeing on TV politicians, business men and so on giving 10 years plans that have a chance to work. Okay, some of them sound realistic, achievable but WHAT IF they fail? We would lose 10 more precious years right?

What do WE need to do to change the world?( I do believe that each individual holds greater powers, powers beyond one's imagination but still... If you're not Superman, you can't quite change the world by yourself.) I think we need teamwork, i think we need to learn about something we never tried so far. We need to learn teamwork at a mental, intellectual level. It's easy to gather a hundred of people and clean up a polluted forest but you can't quite clean the entire planet by hand right? We need to learn to think together, in the same time, to unite our intellects and come up FAST with a valid solution. I will be realistic here and i am 100% sure that tons of people will judge me for this: I won't waste my youth, my "happiness", my life searching all by myself for a solution to heal the world. Humanity needed a few decades just to find out that you can create fire with two sticks...

Also I am pessimistic that my generation will be able to make a huge change in the world. To begin the process, yeah. I consider that my generation, together with 10 generations before us, should join hands and concentrate on changing the high-schoolers and even the ones younger than them. Let's face it, a kid has a huge influence on a grown-up. A little baby can instantly make you smile just by looking at you.

I'm a Christian, i believe we need a divinity to pray at but i don't think God or Allah or Buddha will help us this time. Let's face it, none of the above mentioned dug kilometers of tunnels under mountains, chopped off forests, erased mountains completely from the landscape, built enormous factories producing cars or simply burning coal. Neither God, Allah or Buddha thought about a way to win or to start a war and neither of them came with the idea of creating a weapon to kill millions in a blink of an eye and other millions over time. WE, we are the ones that did this. WE, the people. Why do we have such a big urge to change the world now? Because we aren't happy anymore, we are forced to exit that comfort zone that our grandparents lived in. It's true that we are facing the consequences of their mistakes but unfortunately we don't have where to run.

We gotta stand our ground and fight! WE! Together. 10% of my brain, 10% of yours, 10% of his, 10% of hers and so on. Sum it up and with only 10% of the world's population thinking about a way to make the world better, we will form 1 mega brain working at 7 billion% of it's intellect. Pretty amazing ha? But...
Can we do it? I sure like to think so because I, alone, all by myself, don't know any realistic way to change the world to better.

So change the title from "How i would change the world" to "How we should change the world"!

External Relations - Newsletter Vară

          Principalul eveniment programat pentru luna iulie a fost Boa Corporate, pentru care au avut 12 confirmări de participare din cadrul Grupului Local de Parteneri. Din cauze mai mult sau mai puţin obiective, doar 4 reprezentaţi ai companiilor s-au şi prezentat la eveniment, motiv pentru care am solicitat feedback-ul necesar îmbunătăţirii relaţiei dintre AIESEC şi parteneri. Ca urmare a informaţiilor primite, s-a decis reprogramarea acestui eveniment pentru luna septembrie, urmând ca pentru acea ediţie să elaborăm un JD destinat partenerilor care doresc să participe.
          Apropierea conferinţei locale de planificare LPMS a implicat şi acoperirea necesarului de inkind-uri, printare şi consumabile. Dacă pentru inkind-uri am obţinut parteneriate cu Panibu, Martens, Parkside, Poem Caffe, Apogeus, Alex&Comp, partea de consumabile ne-a fost acoperite de Copy Clinics.
         În luna august au avut loc două evenimente definitorii pentru departamentul de ER. În primul rând, la Năvodari s-a desfăşurat conferinţa naţională de team building AIESEC Olymp-X, în cadrul căreia s-au afirmat ca parteneri Real Group, New Rolacs, Alex&Comp, Adquest Print, Panibu şi Martens, şi Global Village-ul susţinut de parteneri precum Martens, Panibu şi Belvedere Motors.
