#LetsBreakTradition in #Employability and #Entrepreneurship by #FYP#ICP students at Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak, Nation Building School and TEGAS Digital Innovation Hub.

Assistant Secretary at Ministry of Foreign Affairs Malaysia Syed Nizamuddin Sayed Khassim (1989) started by sharing that sometimes you have this sense of achievement where you could be proud of, but could never share. His explained this through a Kingsman scene: "The point is, Eggsy, nobody thanked me for any of them. Front page news and all these occasions are celebrity nonsense. Because it's the nature of Kingsman that our achievements remain secret."

Founder of Kuala Lumpur's My Studio Works Ivan Heng shared the power of AR taking over the world, and thus the importance of keeping up to date with technology.

Founder of Sarawak's NOMS On Street Phua TK Avertino (1995) revealed what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur. He asked, how much you want to make? If you want to make small money, you can do it by yourself. If you want to make big money, you need a team. That is to say, no man is an island. No matter how strong you are you only have 24 hours a day. You need a team to build an empire.

Founder of Saudi Arabia's VisionRENEWABLE Huzaifa Mubarak raised the importance of standing out given that degree and experience are common. So how do you do that? Be aware of expectations. Be bold. Be different. Deliver solutions. Enthusiasm. Life long learning.

In summary:
  • Do not put all your eggs into one basket. Diversify.
  • Life is all about problems.
  • Entrepreneurship is about solving problems.
  • Money is not everything, but everything needs money. Money is therefore an enabler to everything.
  • Opportunities do not wait for you, so take them, hustle and innovate to deliver its solutions.
  • There is no age limit to success. In fact, the younger you are the better because you will have less commitment, so use your youth to your advantage.
  • Let go of what is unproductive.
  • If you want to go fast, go by yourself. If you want to go far, go with a team.
  • Respect comes when you give, not when you take.
  • When you do things, keep yourself in silence. Let your success do the talking!

As much as I hate to admit it, money really now controls people. I know there is a famous saying that money cannot buy happiness, but in today's time, money is everything. Money can buy happiness because people are now very materialistic. To be honest, I am also quite materialistic and I do not really see anything wrong with it. I believe that as long as people do not get addicted to material things, then they are allowed to enjoy buying things they want for themselves.
