Shinies Love Letter #6
Consistency. Efficiency. Ownership.
Howdy!
I hate to burst your bubble but we are 80% into our term, leaving us with only 69 days left to achieve the impact that we envision at the beginning of the term. It surprises me that I have mixed feelings typing this time's love letter. Part of me feels excited to buck up and really leave no regrets or shit behind for the next term. I'm not sure about you but the only feeling I want to have looking back at my journey is of gratitude and achievement. But another part of me feels disappointed. The cold harsh facts clearly shows that we have yet to achieve those goals, meaning there are so many lives out there that we have failed to engage and develop. They could have had this life-changing experience that could have made all the difference to their lives and those around them. But, we have yet to provide them the chance to do so.
However, beating yourself up and being overly self-critical would not do much good. Hey! We have 69 more days to make all the positive impact that we hope for! Let's gain back our momentum for this Summer Peak and RA-MA-RE like never before. Yes, studies, assignments and stress are piling up but if not now, when will you ever challenge yourself to do the unconventional and extraordinary. I mean, who would ever have 'Get Stressed' or 'Live Dangerously' in their list of To-Do's.
One of the greatest learnings of my three years in AIESEC is the importance of being FLEXIBLE. You need to be able to stretch your limits, conquer your fears and just do it. Strong purpose, determination and persistence are among the elements that would help you get through.
Let our actions speak on our behalves; the values that make us who we are.

3. Conference Bidding
National Convention
Bidders: UNMC, UUM, UTM
Winner: UNMC
My reasons: Experience organising NatCon 2014 with only 2 months preparation, stable reserve (RM45k), close proximity to us and also to the airport, reasonable conference fee inclusive of AMAN fee (RM250 - incampus accommodation, RM180 - outcampus accommodation), conducive hall and accommodation, senior members as OC
MyLDS 2016
Bidder: UTP
Winner: - (second round to be opened)
My reasons: Too high of a risk to secure RM25k external sponsorship, poor budgeting (only manage to breakeven), concern about talent capacity as it will be during their oGCP peak (Winter Peak), reserve (RM32k)
