There's no greater power than a community discovering what it cares about. Be intrigued by the differences you hear. Expect to be surprised. Treasure curiosity more than certainty. Remember you don't fear people who's story you know. Real listening always brings people closer together. Trust that meaningful conversations change your world.

Hong Kong...

I remember the first scene from "Match Point" where Chris Wilton talkes about luck, and how sometimes the ball touches the net and in a split second it can either fall on both sides of the net. People underestimate the presence of luck in life.

Maybe that's what happened, or maybe not. Truth is I lost the HK elections by one vote 66.3% and I needed 66.7, what a complete disillusion. How one vote can change your life, it would be the difference in preparing for a year Hong Kong or sitting back home in boring Netherlands.

Luck... or is it that I wasn't convincing enough. Either way, life is characterised by ups and downs. Life wouldn't be as sweet without the bitter. Although at times you would prefer only to have the sweet.

Well, now it's back to The Netherlands and reflect on my future... H4TF???

The good thing is, I have time hmmm plenty of time to reflect. And some people from the HK MC are telling me to reapply since the results have been really supporting. Anways, it's enough for now to sit back and think about what drives me. Since HK was the only choice I made and I completely went for it, it was all of my passion and effort. One country...

H4TF to HK, who knows...

Hi Kevin,

I was following your writting a little bit, and I´m very impresed with all you thoughts. I mean it is amazing how you can reflect on your life!
So also you put all your effort into HK, I´m sure it´s no waste. And the Netherlands might sound boring to you, but to other people it is a little Hong Kong. So don´t worry. I´m sure it´s all for good, and I´m even more sure that you will make your way.

Take care,
Tina
