The best year of my life

Not too long ago I came from center, where I spent some time with my friends Ihor from Canada and Slavik. Ihor is going tomorrow on plane to London, where he will celebrate New Year and then back to Vancouver. During last words of our today’s conversation Ihor asked me “Can you say that this year of your life was the best one?”. I said: “Yes, definitely” without hesitation. Ihor answered: “For me too”. Tommorow he will be in a trip and it is so a nice feeling, when you know that you have friends in a lot of countries in the world and everybody of them are constantly developing themselves and will reach a top in future and you gonna meet them there.
Our conversation with Ihor really motivated me to summarize this year. So, here I would like to write a short review of it:

• In the beginning of this year I was wondering how I can be useful for people. I wondered if somebody needed my knowledge, my rap poetry and I really felt a bit depressed. This period I was doing almost nothing. I was wasting time with some friends, watching almost all series of “South Park” etc. I was living like in a movie “Day of mormot”, where you get up and every day is the same. Only when I got out from this period I realized a true value of time and now try to spend every second in development

• The crucial moment of the year were elections in AIESEC Kyiv. I saw that during the period of my time-wasting people with whom I came to organization achieved a lot and it motivated me for a work.

• Next stages of my life really can be divided by conferences: Black Sea Youth Congress – got to know AIESEC better and felt like a true part of it, Leadership Development Seminar – realized my issue – IT Consulting, Autumn Conference – great time spent with AIESEC IS Team on development of strategy, New Horizons – understanding of management better. My emotions about most of this events you can read on my blog.

• Some more valuable things during my year is marriage of my sister and then birth of my niece Nastya, my work in AIESEC on different levels and nice autumn trimestr at Mohylyanka.

• One more thing I would really like to mention is Personal Development. Thanks to Steve Pavlina (www.stevepavlina.com) I started to live in Personal Development lifestyle. I have set my goals, understood my values and strengthes and try to develop in order to be more useful for people and myself

• But the main thing that happened in my life are… you. All these people who are reading this blog, all people that are somehow connected to AIESEC. Now I can not imagine my life without you and knowing that you are near me makes me happy.
I truly believe that this year was the best in your life as it was for me!

Happy New Year!

10th season of TNMK

On Thursday I’ve visited concert of one of my favorite groups – “Tanok na maydani Kongo” (Dance on the Congo square) – they’ve celebrated start of their 10th season. The concert was in night club Oasis and there were many people in the club – more than 500.
During the concert guys have been playing songs from almost all their albums (as I’ve mentioned mostly songs, which have videoclips) and the energy was in the air. It was great to see so many people bouncing to the beat and dancing (the last thing was done almost only by girls, except for one chudik).
The group have presented their new track – this was “My mother”, that guys performed with Ukrainian showman Serhiy Syboho. The song will soon be in sales as a single and the refrain is “V nas vse ye! V nas vse bude! Bo my ye dobri lyudy! V nas vse bude! Yeaaah!” (We have everything! We will have everything! Cause we are good people! We will have everything! Yeaaah!) As Fagot have promised, the song will be realesed just before New Year.
TNMK have received lots of presents from different people and in the end of the concert ex-MC of Tanok Dilya, who organized his own group “NeDilya” (Sunday) came to stage to perform together with guys their famous hit – “Po Barabanu” (It doesn’t matter).
That’s how I’ve spent not ordinal evening of ordinal day.
