New young French President! There is a rising interest in young world leaders, ‘Young Blood’. Traditional politicians need to have age and wisdom. But Current trends expect fresh ‘vitality’. Already many other countries leave the politics to 30, 40 young leaders. These leaders’ funky and fresh move shows the ‘Young power’ as breaking existing practices.

Before Macron(39), Justin Trudeau(45) has been under the spotlight. He has claimed a generational shift since the Liberal Party. After he took office as Canadian prime minister at the age of 43 in 2015, he shows excellent communication skills based on ‘pretty boy’ appearance. He is still popular.

Alexis Tsipras(42) took office as Greek Prime Minister at the age of 40 in 2015. He shows progressive and powerful leadership enough to be called ‘the most dangerous man in Europe’.

Charles Michel(41) became prime minister at the age of 38 in 2014. Michel prime minister is starting a political party activity at the age of 16 already. After two years, he was elected to the local councilors. He took office as Minister of Cooperation and Development at the age of 25. He broken all records.

Andrzej Duda(45) became Polish president at the age of 43 in 2015. გიორგი მარგველაშვილი(48) became Georgian president at the age of 44 in 2013. Володимир Борисович Гройсман and Jüri Ratas became prime minister at the age of 38 in 2016. Tunisia elected Youssef Chahed(41) last year in breeze of ‘the Arab Spring’.

Who is Emmanuel Macron(French President)?

The First Story : Love

In 1994 16 years old boy confessed his love. “I will get marry with you without fail” To whom? His drama teacher. She was 40 years old at that time. She thought It was just his schoolyard crush. After his parents knew this love story, he was forced to go abroad in Paris. This love story would end like this way…. Nope! She said “He always called me. We talked on the phone for hours. His patience conquered my resistance little by little.”

The Second Story : En Marche!

In 2016 April, he told Francois Hollande(French President) “But I have a word : On April 6, Amiens, I’m trying to do something. I’m trying to launch a youth movement, like think tank.” as if nothing had happened. The youth movement is ‘En Marche!‘. Surprisingly he formed a political party!!! This party stuck a dagger in the back of Hollande and the Socialist Party.

Fresh Breeze Blows

These two anecdotes aren’t everything of him. We can’t know everything about him but it’s for sure that fresh breeze blows. I live in other countries but I have small expectations for happier future. It is also linked to the movement of the world.

My key message is be innovative, be ambitious; think global and big on day one – Emmanuel Macron

We need people who dream impossible things, who maybe fail, sometimes succeed, but in any case who have that ambition – Emmanuel Macron

PEACE is up to you. 🙂 Good luck!

[Unicef’s sad experiment] I thought we can ignore poor children

Interesting social experiment : UNICEF

A interesting social experiment that Unicef carried out attracted public attention. They made two situations that 6 years old girl looked around for help. The girl waited for people, wearing different clothes depending on the situation.

“What’s your name, kid? How old are you?” They take the time out to help that neat girl who wore gray dress with coat. They have mostly friendly attitudes.

After that, the girl went out on the same place wearing like homeless. People completely ignored that child and nobody paid attention to that homeless.

6 years old girl, ANANO, participating an experiment got angry. She got to know that people’s reaction is noticeably different in accordance with dress. She see it in the flesh.
As indifference of people continued, there was no choice but to stop the experiment.

People tell me “Get out. That’s sad”. After the experiment finished, Anano said ‘I can’t understand it. I’m sad’ Unicef planned this experiment as part of #FIGHTUNFAIR campaign.

Unicef said ‘Children should never be discriminated against poverty.’ They strived to solve these unfair social problems.

‘Why do you do?’ The reason why you exist : Secret of Apple & Secret of Life

The reason why we exist

Do you know Jim whitaker? He was the first American to reach the summit of Mount Everest. There is an anecdote about him. Let’s see it.

When a sherpa, professional climber, died to try helping climbers, a reporter asked him.

“If normal climbers don’t want to get to the top, that sherpa don’t need to die, aren’t you?”

Jim said, “Sherpa may be not dead, but that’s the reason why we exist.”
A reporter said, “Why do sherpa climb the mountain?”

Jim said, “Probably you’ve never ever set foot on the summit. Someone, who reached the top, knows it. It is a great sense of accomplishment to make a person, who can’t reach the summit, possible.

We think about ‘The reason why we exist’

Simon O. Sinek (born October 9, 1973) is a British/American author, motivational speaker and marketing consultant.^[1] He is the author of best seller ‘Start With Why’. Simon Sinek explores how leader can inspire cooperation, trust and change. He tell us why we are inspired by some people, leaders, messages. He started with a golden circle. First he asked ‘Why is Apple so innovative?’

Golden Circle : Why?

Every single person, every single organization on the planet knows what they do, 100 percent. Some know how they do it, whether you call it your differentiated value proposition or your proprietary process or your USP. But very, very few people or organizations know why they do what they do. And by “why” I don’t mean “to make a profit.” That’s a result.

By “why,” I mean: What’s your purpose? What’s your cause? What’s your belief? Why does your organization exist? Why do you get out of bed in the morning? And why should anyone care?

Let me give you an example.

The secret of Apple : WHY

If Apple were like everyone else, a marketing message from them might sound like this: “We make great computers. They’re beautifully designed, simple to use and user friendly. Want to buy one?” “Meh.”

That’s how most of us communicate. That’s how most marketing and sales are done, that’s how we communicate inter-personally. We say what we do, we say how we’re different or better and we expect some sort of a behavior, a purchase, a vote, something like that.

Here’s our new law firm: We have the best lawyers with the biggest clients, we always perform for our clients.

Here’s our new car: It gets great gas mileage, it has leather seats. Buy our car. But it’s uninspiring.

Here’s how Apple actually communicates.

“Everything we do, we believe in challenging the status quo. We believe in thinking differently. The way we challenge the status quo is by making our products beautifully designed, simple to use and user friendly. We just happen to make great computers. Want to buy one?”

Totally different, right?

You’re ready to buy a computer from me. I just reversed the order of the information. What it proves to us is that people don’t buy what you do; people buy why you do it. Now you can find ‘The secret of Life’

Peace is up to you. 🙂 Good luck!
