WHY WE SHOUT IN ANGER



A Hindu saint who was visiting river Ganges to take bath found a group of family members on the banks, shouting in anger at each other. He turned to his disciples smiled and asked.

'Why do people shout in anger shout at each other?'

Disciples thought for a while, one of them said, 'Because we lose our calm, we shout.'

'But, why should you shout when the other person is just next to you? You can as well tell him what you have to say in a soft manner.' asked the saint

Disciples gave some other answers but none satisfied the other disciples.

To Children: Don't ever grow up!

Before National Work Plan Meeting AMSA-Indonesia 2013, The Very First National Event Hosted by AMSA-UNS Ever!!

Two and a half years ago, when I entered AMSA-UNS, it was a collapse medical student organisation in campus. almost no member at all.
I decided to join, persuaded some friends to also join, and few months later we participated in AMSA National Event.

Few weeks after, AMSA-UNS had a local event, and in evaluation meeting, we discussed whether to dare hosting national event. We decided: "no, we're not ready yet."

One year then passed. We already gained more members, and on August 2012, we hosted AMSA Exchange Programme, having incoming medical students from AMSA Taiwan.

As in the next process, conflicts happened amongst members. But according to some elders in AMSA-Indonesia, it's a natural and common phenomenon. it's a sign we were progressing to the better phase.

After gaining more members from batch of 2012, we grew bigger, then decided to host national event, for the first time ever for AMSA-UNS. Totally it wasn't easy. It would never be easy. But as for today, we've made it.

Sorry, it's not "we". It's "They've made it". Why "they"? because I didn't help much. I didn't even one who decided to host it. I wasn't even part of the committee. I was even one who doubted that they could make it. But still, I was feeling so excited.
