Education is not necessarily improving yourself. You can graduate university and be an educated derelict. Improving yourself is a power within available to everyone. You have the power but, if you’re not King of your world; someone else rules. Be King.
LOL a week ago and all you have is 630 views. That should tell you everything you need to know.
People usually won’t care about these things till the matters get far worse
Thought- provoking.
I’m a bachelor student in Business Administration and I am so glad I found this video and heard this speech!
There is nobody explaining students that Accounting can be so much more than what they imagine and can make the difference!
So thank you for your speech and for leading the way for new accountants who want to make a positive impact. 🌍
