Calls after calls
Appointments after appointments..
Everytime I brought my juniors to appointments, the one thing i fear the most is they wouldn’t get the ideal experience from AIESEC. I’ve been to numerous appointments and most of the time, I was rejected. I’ve learned from every appointments but each appointment is very different from the rest. Some will tell you nicely that they dont need you, some will tell you sacarsticly what they are better than you, and some of you just want to belittle you because they somehow know you’re not a working professional.
But everytime after an unsucessful appointment, I did remember what Mr Louis, my ex principal told the school. Its regarding George Lucas and Starwars. Starwars was a total revolution and most production companies consider it as crap in those days. George Lucas went to companies like Universal Studios and sell his idea but he was turned down. Universal passed on StarWars because they consider it to be an unfathomable and silly movie idea. Then he went to every single studio to sell his idea and every single company in hollywood turned him down!.. And finally he reached the last studio, which was 20th Century Fox. and hence the lightsabres, luke skywalker and darth vader was born.
Imagine this, If George Lucas gave up half way, we wont be seeing a film that revolutionised the movie world. Well, that mentality kept me where I am now. I am still hopeful that one day people will see my Sponsor a Volunteer Engagement Program the way I see it. If it takes 100 appointment to reach it, well, there is no stopping to it right?
I believe perseverance pays. I might be the most hard headed and persistent idiot the world had known, but I think if I believe in something, we might as well commit into it.
May the Force be with you people, and never give up!
