The superhumans
There are incredible, hard-working, motivated, ambitious people in AIESEC. I wouldn't be in this had I not been surrounded, pushed, and inspired by them. These are the superhumans...the ones that can just keep taking more on, the energizer batteries. Seeing someone this incredible on the cusp of burning out...that scares me. While it may seem like these mentors,leaders,and friends, are capable of anything and everything, they simply can't do it all. If a person this motivated starts burning out,we all need to step it up a notch...They may think they can carry the weight of the world, and perhaps they can, but they shouldn't have to.

cheers to that
Definetely true, I've put a lot of thought to this before as well :-s After all, we're still young, should we already be living like many 40+ execs live, with a very unhealthy, burning-out lifestyle? The definition of being excellent shouldn't always be to do more and more and more, but to do your job right, and still have enough time for yourself, friends, family, exercise....let me know what you think about this, am glad to discuss this issue ;-) greetings, k-ris
I definitely agree...we're still students, and should live like we're students. Work hard, play hard...
