So, I was invited by some awesome Microsoft Student Partners to speak about entrepreneurship during an event they organized called Microsoft Geeks Day. Being a Microsoft Geeks Day, I thought Bill Gates would be the best figure to discuss. The whole session was just a punch of videos with comments and discussions around them, that I believed conveyed the image better than a thousand words can.
Some of the videos I presented during my session are below, I guess you can figure out the whole content from the videos, Enjoy!
Success, acknowledgement, fame, glory. Many of us fight for reasons like that, but they don’t build a good name from one day to the next. It is necessary to work hard even if there are stumbles and falls. It is necessary to overcome obstacles. It is necessary to have motivation, to persevere and insist. Life is a succession of battles. Job, family, friends: All of us have a current status, and most, expectations for the future. However the twists and turns of fate take us by surprise. One can not always do only what one likes, but to those that like what they do and are proud of always doing better, make more progress day by day.
At our moments of quiet, and hectic decisive moments when mere good intentions are not enough, that’s when life demands of us, courage, boldness, creativity and an unquenchable fighting spirit. The truth is that problems and setbacks happen more frequently than we would like. Times change, new challenges arise, and new objectives. The warriors look into the eyes of the future without fear or arrogance but with the confidence of those who are ready for battle.
Living is also being prepared for difficult situations. How we approach the difficulties is was makes the difference. Sometimes we ask, How can we cope with the radical changes that we are faced with? It’s like acting a new scenario where things we used to do so well, now need to be relearned. And how can we fight without letting go of fundamental values? And more, how do we know exactly what needs to be done at the right time? The amazing thing is that it is precisely upon facing adverse situations that many rediscover the best in themselves. Ethics, friendship, the capability to create new strategies based on experience. The talents to promote positive alliances. The spirit of leadership. The awareness of the strength that resides in true teamwork. All this comes to the forum when required by circumstances when one knows there is an important ultimate goal.
Naturally it’s not easy to give up habits, customs, it’s not easy to adapt to new environments or employ resources we are not familiar with, but all warriors know that pessimism and uncertainty hold one back at moments like this. Even if the threat comes from many sides, with agility strength and determination, we can achieve our goals. A combination of energy and intelligence as well as a balance between emotion and reason are essential to success.
It is a most satisfying feeling to reach the end of a task with a feeling of duty fulfilled and receive the accolades and respect of all our colleges, the admiration of the people we love, to hear our names spoken with pride, The pride of having seen the obstacles, the opportunity of growth, The pride of having seen life’s ups and downs and win. The pride of being a winner who did not give up fundamental values.
