What a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong

Well, it just matched...

Oh what a wonderful world

Dear Bloggers

Even though I actually really don’t have the time, I really wanted to share this with all of you:

My life is really, really beautiful.

About one week ago I was doing self-reflection and I came to exactly this conclusion. To some extent I was surprised, because not everything in my life is going perfect. The list of things that make my life less than perfect is long: I don’t have enough time to sleep, I am behind with my studies, there are relationship issues and so on…

But I realized that a life does not need to be perfect in order to be beautiful.

I thought about the things that I have. And those are the ones that make my life extraordinarily beautiful. I mean, I am 22 years old. I am still in my studies. I have not contributed that much yet to the world’s wellbeing. And still life has gifted me with so much. I met some very amazing people. I had wonderful discussions with them. I realized how I can have an impact on the people around me. And those people actually give me feedback that this impact is good. I dreamed always of being on the big politics scene to have an influence… but I learned that just making your neighbour smile is already a huge impact that I can have. I met people from so many nationalities these last two weeks. I went to an AIESEC conference in Fiesch where people from at least 30 nationalities participated. We exchanged viewpoints, we discussed politics, we partied together… it was wonderful to see the understanding that we created. We had fun together, we learned together… It was amazing to see so many different people to rally behind the same values and goals. Then I came back to Geneva and had just enough time to prepare my next conference, which took place in Athens. And there the same love was spread. There we were even more different nationalities. More diverse. But as soon as I arrived there, I knew that we would be friends. It was wonderful to discuss with people from very different places who do exactly the same thing in AIESEC as I did… to exchange viewpoints. To be accepted by so many different people. To gain friends who are spread all over the world. It was an amazing experience. We shared the same passion, the same understanding, the same trust towards each other…

Between these conferences I was in Bern eating traditional Swiss dinner at a table with people from at least 15 other nationalities.

I mean if you do Geneva – Fiesch – Geneva – Bern – Zürich – Athens – Zürich – Bern – Geneva in two weeks, and this at the age of 22, then your life must be simply amazing.

And now I had talks with people that I hoped to still have, but actually I had resigned that they ever will happen. And now they did. And I am very greatful for them.

I want to thank all the people who participated with me in these amazing last two weeks and I feel honoured to have met you all. For all the discussions we had… You make my life as beautiful as it is…

Love you all
Stefan

Roxette - Listen to your heart

Last but not least, the third and last song I'll put on the blog for today... This is my motto... NOW...

Paula Abdul - Rush Rush

Another beautiful song... especially the dialogue has some deep deep wisdom to it...

Phil Collins - Do You Remember?

This is my favourite song... the clip is wonderful...

Status Update

Being a realist is so much more energy efficient... If you don't care for anybody, you don't waste time caring for others and you can focus all of your energy on yourself...

But still I wouldn't wish for one second to go back. I sleep even less now than before (20 hours from Sunday to Friday are already a lot) and I do stuff like sleeping in the office. But I have people that I can count on, I can do so many things that I love to do. There are actually even to many opportunities in my life. I had to cut down on some unfortunately. But others I can live to the fullest.

I had crazy talks these days, people coming up to me telling me things that I wouldn't have dreamed they would tell me. People acting completely different. I feel kinda walking on a sunny day through a field full of golden flower, birds singing and butterflies all over the place. It is beautiful my life, and I am more than glad for the fact that I can live a life like this.

Thank you to all of you who made my life so brilliant...
Stef

Interactive? Interactive!!!

Hey

Surprise, surprise... this is gonna be short:

Just two videos that you should check it out. One because you just have to wonder how these people have so much time to do stuff like that (the first one) and the other for it's artistic value... I love them both...

Cheers
Stef
