What is a friend? Often we call people in our lives friend but do we really think on what that word mean? According to the dictionary a friend is “Friendship is the cooperative and supportive relationship between people, or animals. In this sense, the term connotes a relationship that involves mutual knowledge, esteem, affection, and respect along with a degree of rendering service to friends in times of need or crisis.” This is one of many definitions however the one that I find myself most related to. Some people in our lives are just visitors, they enter to the show at some point, stay for a while, maybe few scenes then they do there exit. Some would even stay for a longer time but at some point they will the there big finale. Friends will stay there forever.
Why I`m talking about this now, well the past few weeks opened my eyes to many things. But the most eye opener scene was when Philip has arrived to the airport in Trieste. I think that we haven’t spend any time together, just us with no pressure of time for at least 10 month. But as soon as we met up again it was like we have never separated not even for e minute. I like him especially and mostly due to the fact that he is real and honest, I can count on him to tell me what he think even if it’s not what I want to hear and from the bottom of my heart I appreciate it. My friends my true friends and the one that I consider as such, are similar to him, not only with those characteristics that I have mentioned but also that he respect me as who I am which means a whole lot to me.
What happen to me lately? Well, school is nothing-special same thing different day, but it turns to be more and more interesting, we have started the consulting project which we are working for companies in the area, my team is working for illy, can`t elaborate much on this at the moment but the fact that we are doing a real research regardless on what will be the result it seems to be interesting.
Other then that, last week we went skiing with the school, we were about 15 students and maybe 15 alumni, we went to Austria stayed in a nice hotel on an amazing lake, just three days of snowboarding, drinking and partying. We had great time with some great people. The snow wasn`t the best but as coming from Israel who am I to complain. After the first day one skiing I went with my roommate Jose and couple of others to the roman thermal spa, where they had a pool of hot water out side, so basically you head is freezing and the body is in hot water. The feeling was amazing, it was not long before professor Pilotto which organized this trip as many other events of the school, challenged us to stand outside in the snow in minus 5 degrees just to jump in after to see how really nice the water are. Off course we did it, off course it felt great but it was freezing and I`m not sure when and if I will stand on the snow wearing just a bathing suite......
As part of our program we suppose to do internships or be working from May to September while writing our thesis (did I talked about it before?) so the word of the day that every one is speaking about in school is “did you get an interview?” or “any news about internship”, I like it, cause I`m looking for things that I think that I would like to do in the future and I get to be exposed to interesting position and companies that I don’t know about. However naturally it leads to a competition that I don’t like (I should get used to it in the business world no?). I believe that there is room and place for everyone and that each will find his special place to work and grow I will be happy to hear about everyone of my classmates that will make it big. And me? I dream big and aim high this is the only way I know to success, I will and am doing the best I can to pursue my dreams as Aerosmith sings “Dream on, dream on dream until your dream come true
I said a lot today in the post but didnt write much, there is a lot of things I want to tell and talk about but I`m waiting for the right moment. Egypt off course is a major topic but I`m not sure how I feel about what is happening there and how it might effect us. By us I mean Israel, the world and the business world.
good night for now,
IT.
