Every human being is a leader in their own right’ says Dr.Zulkarnain Hanafi,Vice Chancellor of UBD
Day 1 (6th November 2008)
That’s what more than I expected. I was attending A Youth Leadership and Entrepreneurship Forum in UBD which took the whole day of yesterday and the whole morning of today.I paid only for $20 for attending the inspiring forum and let me tell you, it’s more than worth it. The speeches and the talks are the most fundamental assets that I was looking for. The welcoming speech (yesterday)which was delivered by Dr.Zulkarnain Hanafi, our VC stimulates the spirit in me to become a leader. There are few points that he mentioned that I think will helps for those who seeks to be successful and to improve the inner self. Let me summarizes it
Love what you do, passion
Think of your legacy
Know intentions in life, increase motivation, Don’t expect rewards
Teamwork. Deal with failures
Adaptability to the environment,seek up for the opportunity
Don’t waste time..maintain dignity
Don’t be pessimistic . Go out and learning, be a livelong learner
Have courage to follow the heart
Good values and business and choose it as an instrument for positive change
Achieve success in everything you do. Don’t wait until the opportunity to fall,seek for the opportunity
The programme of a youth leadership and entreprenurship includes pleanary session by Malai Hj Abd Hamid bin Malai Hj Mashhor (the chairman of the Mashhor Group of Companies), HOW TO BE A YOUTH LEADER IN A GLOBAL WORLD delivered by: Ms Hjh Rozana DP Hj Md Yunus (BAG networks) and Ak Kamal Ghadafi bin Pg Suhaimi (Ministry of Culture Youth and Sports) followed by BREAKING INTO TECHNOPRENEURSHIP delivered by Mr.Rano Iskandar(ranoadidas.com) and Mr Keeran bin Janin(Expansys Technologies) and PREPARING FOR WEALTH CREATION WHILST IN SCHOOL delivered by Mr Steven Song (Livewire Brunei) and Dr.Hjh Mona Yati DSLJ Hj Md Kassim( Universiti of Brunei Darussalam)
Overall, I would admit that all of the successful speakers motivates most of the youth that was attending the forum and from my opinion such forum is very helpful in creating and producing better youths
