On
the day of the lecture, guests were scheduled to arrive at the venue
at 6pm; but it wasn't until 4pm that the working team was allowed
to enter the venue and begin to arrange things. That meant they had
to finish all the arrangements and decorating within two hours. All
the working staff members prepared gingerly, feeling the pressure
of this task. At 4pm sharp, all the items that had been placed at
the gate beforehand were moved into the venue. Although the working
staff members from the two previous countries were there to help out,
the two-hour time limit had made this an emergency situation, and
there was not enough manpower.
Towards the end, there
was no time for anyone to think about how to place a certain vase
to make it look good, or what color to go with a particular piece
of cloth to make it stand out. It all had to be done as an instant
reaction; once the object was in your hand, you had to put it up right
away, because there was no time to think slowly. Meanwhile, it was
not the mind that was working; it all came from instinctive reactions.
Even though some areas seemed perfect, the working team members were
able to finish this challenging task in a very hurried situation.
Besides feeling great relief, there was a sense of joyfulness - we
finally made it! This happiness was indescribable, and probably only
those who experienced it were able to understand it!
