2006 Model United Nations – Global Youth Leadership Summit
第一屆全球大學青年領袖高峰會
The goal of the World Leadership Education Foundation and the summit was to bring “Peace from Inner to Global”, with a focus on developing future leaders with the vision and courage to bring us all to a future world of love, freedom, and peace. Through the deep analysis of politics and religious philosophies, participants were aggressively involved with the re-engineering of our future world in this simulated United Nations experience.

The content of the Summit was centered on enhancing leadership skills given challenging conflicts relating ranging from war to racial discrimination, human rights and sovereignty, energy, epidemic prevention & control, etc. Participants aimed to incorporate the following objectives:

• Raise the awareness of the youth toward peace subjects, and establish the aspiration to promote world peace
• Facilitate the interaction and cultural exchange between young people of different cultural and national backgrounds.
• Highlight the importance of spirituality as the foundation of a harmonious global community
• Develop negotiation skills in international affairs through mock UN sessions

There are times when it is wise to become invisible. Like the period after sundown when the light has dissipated and the activity left over from the light of day continues to radiate translucently. When the shadow of foolishness reigns, it is best that any vibrancy remain hidden, that thoughts and efforts remain quiet and self-contained, protected from harmful external influences.

So it’s under this very premise that I seek refuge in reformation – a reformation to be completely autonomous without sacrificing the dignity of our loved ones. In tandem, we maintain a low profile on the public scene but a high prerogative in world affairs. Here on this globe, where I’m judged by my appearance by those that don’t appear to be the judge, my natural instincts succumb to the lure of nature in an attempt to decipher the politics from the politricks. Everyone is in search of the meaning of life; meanwhile, I travel foreign lands to keep my phonetics versed in multiple tongues. This is the first major step of a long journey, where the pages of my texts are dedicated to the blood of the next man to fall unjustly. To be an individual means to deliberately expose one’s self to change, to ignore what people are saying but to understand what they mean. The concept of meaning itself is the very foundation of building something out of nothing…

Freeing myself through these written words, you know very well that the day I stop writing is the day my soul is at peace. It’s the art of using the same words to create new meaning, for my opponents come in various forms, with the largest of them residing in the mind. Morally, I need this to evolve and live simply, so that others may simply live. We all grew up in a sphere of distraction that rotates around the globe at the speed of light and pulls us away from our lives. Hence, I’m not here to change others; I’m only here trying to change myself in the image of righteousness; knowing that I may be leaving soon, the same way I appeared here, slowly conjugating one verb at a time to make my escape for a new chapter in this book of life.
