I recently found an interesting external blog of a senior Sauder student in UBC, in which I’ve followed and gained a couple of tips from.
In one of her articles, she stated her experience of meeting with Microsoft Canada President Eric Gales during her Campus Rep Program, where she provided a few takeaways from their discussion: (1)Innovations, (2)entrepreneurs, and (3)how students can find innovations to help society.
Gale defines innovation as “doing something in a new way;” and entrepreneurs as those who convert ideas into action. He further commented on the fact that people nowadays don’t really have a problem in generating ideas, but the issue lies in what to do once you have one. He states that there are those who “dream big” and those who breathe life into big dreams to become action [1]. “We have to be prepared to believe that there is better way. Be prepared to be wrong and challenging your inner thought. We have to b prepared to put thoughts in benefits for motivation instead of hovering over the risks.”
I find this article very inspirational, as I am a student of many dreams; yet, none of these ideas can come true if I never work to make them happen. By defining the three concepts of entrepreneurship, I feel more confident of experiencing new boundaries to explore my potentials.
