>My dear friends,
>
>By now, you have heard many terrible stories and seen numerous horrific
>pictures of the devastation and trauma in the United States due to the
>terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington, DC. I've received emails,
>ICQ and instant messages from many of you and I want to thank you all for your
>concern. Luckily, I am not in either city, but still close enough to feel the
>pain and suffering. Many friends and a family member live in those areas, but
>they are the lucky ones. They will live to remember it; others are not as
>fortunate. They are the ones we must remember.
>
>This tragedy reminds us of who we are and what we are trying to accomplish in
>this organization we call AIESEC. Some feel that with the outburst here,
>AIESEC has failed. An organization as large and as old as AIESEC should be
>making a difference in the world, but what kind of difference is it if
>terrorist activities continue like this on such large scale around the world?
>If a country as advanced as the US is susceptible to such activity, what chance
>does the rest of the world have?
>
>AIESEC has made a difference. The difference is in the trainees we send abroad
>on traineeships as well as other AIESECers we meet at conferences and other
>events. Our organization has come a long way...from 5 member countries to 84;
>from 89 exchanges to over 5,000 and still growing! No other organization
>matches us in size, scope or principle, which places us above all the other
>exchange organizations available.
>
>The world still has a chance...through AIESEC. There is still a ray of hope:
>in crisis, there is opportunity. If nothing else, today's tragedies should be
>turned into reasons to work even harder to build AIESEC into the truly
>impactful organization it should be--to be the organization that promotes
>understanding between cultures, where boundaries are nothing but self-imposed
>limitations. And where we tear down those boundaries for the betterment of
>mankind and society. Today's tragedies should motivate us to increase those
>number of exchanges and to change as many lives as we can. Today should really
>make us want to be the change we want to see in the world.
>
>So, I hope something like today will encourage you to think how you can
>contribute to the AIESEC Vision and Mission in your LCs and MCs.
>
>Thanks for you time and consideration.
>
>Take care and be safe,
>
>Tzyy Wang
>AIESEC in the US/China Initiative

>PS--For those who are concerned about @US staff, they are all okay. I've
>received word that they are well and trying to locate all the trainees in the
>area to make sure they are safe also. All the trainees with Kraft were not
>working in the Manhattan area so they are fine.

4月晴朗的早晨,沒有原因沒有開始,
在洗衣店巷子的轉角,我碰到那個100%的男孩,
他也並不是特別帥,也沒有迷濛的大眼睛,更沒有希臘式的挺鼻樑,
頭髮後面還殘留了昨晚一場好眠的證據,
也不知道為何,清晨的微風中散布著奇妙的微粒子,
我彷彿在這神秘的空氣分子中嗅到了...戀愛的甜滋味,
