The Greatest Lesson I’ve Learned From Someone Else
Mar 25th, 2011 by jenniferchen
Upon graduation, I was facing difficulties in choosing the right school and the right field to study in. Unfortunately, I did not make the right choice even with all the information I obtained and people’s experiences I heard.
Luckily, a friend of my father who works in the commerce industry talked to me about choosing the right path to continue my study, therefore, I am now studying in Sauder and enjoying all the materials I am learning.
Uncle David, who had a extraordinary life story graduated from Sauder years ago. He was only 15 when he graduated. In his time, the economy was not at it’s best searching for a job was nearly impossible especially for a recent graduate. Uncle David, however, did not give up and blame on the society, instead he sent out over more than 100 resumes and cold called the companies that he would love to work for. He identified his strength and present his top skills to attract his potential employers. The experience was hard and frustrating, yet that was what made his story even more convincing and made him more competitive among others.
From Uncle David, I learned the inside stories of how to succeed in this competitive industry and how only with one’s effort one can achieve their own goals, despite how the society is and how others view you as.
