I don’t know why but the last couple of days I was in such a good mood, without a special reason.. Being around so many people all the time just makes me happy! It doesn’t frustrate me and even when I m in a bad mood, just a smile from someone makes me happy again! Well, we ll see how I feel after 3 months of not having any “alone” time. I ll probably go crazy!
Yesterday we had a bunch of community leaders coming to talk to us about “leadership”. That was very interesting… Since I don’t really know what I wanna do in my life, I was quite inspired by all those people who have done things in life and who are considered “successful” and “leaders”. They all seemed quite happy, but I m not sure if working all day long would make me happy, even if I was at the top!
So I ll share with you some of the tips I got from those guys. Being a leader means you have to be flexible, you have to be tough, you have to be a good listener and you have to make difficult decisions all the time. Its not an easy job! Also, everyone said that you have to be self-aware, know yourself very well… I don’t think I’m quite there yet, but I’m hoping this trip will help!
Today a group of us went to Leader's Challenge, an organization that works with high school kids and we talked with them about stereotypes, our countries and USA. I find it so amusing that noone knows where Cyprus is! It was my job to enlighten them! The kids were really nice and we had interesting conversations, I enjoyed it a lot.. I met a kid named Roman, he was very cool (see pics).
Every day is different.. Cant wait for tomorrow
