Children these days are so lucky, are taught entrepreneurship too! I wish I could be taught this subject when I was young as being paid employees in static organizations where employers determine how much you are worthm what is your worth and when to increase your pay can sometimes be sad :(
Singaporean youths who have entrepreneurial inclinations should be encouraged to attend the Global Entrepreneurship Week.
Oh cool. While I wish we had such things back in my school days, I am also a little reserved about all these focus on money-making. On the path to creating wealth for our nation, the fear is that we lose the ability to see the need for morals and integrity.
A lot of great ideas likely to show up there.
You been tagged.
Hi ECL!
It is not more important than inspiring those with a dream. Teaching Entrepreneurship is more like helping one make his dream into reality!
I've heard about it and think there is a Norwegian team partisipating too.
Wishing you a great end to your week and if you have the time, your welcome over to celebrate with me :-)
ECL,
I didn't know got such day! Maybe I'm not an entrepreneur yet. That's why I'm not aware of this. haha!
Happy Sunday!:)

Too bad I'm on reservist during the week.
Thanks for the mention. I didn't know of the Global Entrepreneurship Week until I read your post.
I hope these entrepreneurs-to-be would one day contribute positively to the society when they succeed.
I always have the inclination to be an entrepreneur but the time has not come.
