The Inspirational Seminar

Today something great happened in my life...

I shook hands with a person who has been on North, South and both magnetic poles of the Earth. I have been given advice by a man owning three Ferrari's, two Lamborgini's and second biggest footwear company in the world. I have been impressed by a Dutch woman running the most powerful publishing house in Russia.

All these incredible things happened due to my chance to attend Enterpreneurial Seminar - one of the events in frames of Star Management Week at the University.

As you has probably guessed, at the seminar, we had a bunch of outstanding people giving speeches - sharing their experience, advice and inspiration with us. Above, you can see just a part of the achievements of some of them.

Unfortunately, I was forced to skip a couple of lectures to be able to attend the event. However, there's no room for regret. Apparently, advice of such people carries much more credibility rather this of academicians and researches we normally have as lecturers. One of my study-mates compared the impact and usefullness of this single seminar to a whole year at college. Needless to say that his assumption holds water.

The impact produced by the Enterpreneurial Seminar was beyond any expectations. I have been inspired by those people to the utmost meaning of this word. My ambition, purposefullness and passion have been fueled for months, if not years, to come.

This is one of the things I like so much about my University - the brilliant opportunity to meet face-to-face the strong of this world, those minds and hearts who make a true difference on the planet.

Now, I am looking forward to the Academic Conference, which is due to be the day after tomorrow, where we will be able to see even more outstanding people.

P.S. Shit, still 12 min beyond schedule!=) But I'm making progress!
