II. Seminar Life Contribution

The BEC 2015 was really enriching one for students and particularly for a
business administration student like me. It made me realize on some aspects of
business and how to put them up as one of the speakers said that you are the
most important part of any business because without it nothing will happen to
the business itself without a person who controls it. And that in every blessing
that we need is already available to us it is that we are too much demanding to
see these blessings and how to use them. Finding ones purpose is one of the
key to be successful in life because if you wont able to figure out your purpose
you will end up worthless because you spent your precious for nothing instead of
being productive one. Another is discovering your passion, doing the things you
love will make you feel fulfilled because you feel youve done prolific things and
you were able to enjoy life. And becoming successful is not just achieving things
but how will you bring your big dreams into reality and not only in our fantasies
alone. And dont forget to appreciate things that you were able to achieve
because these things will keep you grounded and make you feel that without
such things you are nothing. And in times of success and downfall we must turn-

up to our great relationships that we built at work, at home and with God because
they are the reason why we strive for success and happy. I learned to choose a
person as a mentor that you can model and look up to and aspire me in life to
find my happiness and success. Next is developing your own self because as
they say your greatest asset is yourself like in my studies my parents invested
money to put into school and become productive citizen our society in the future.
Also I learned that at a young age we must learn to take our finances because it
will help realize how hard it is to earn my own money to suffice my needs and
wants. As well as the value of giving and serving because when you give and
serve the more you will get and have the things you desire. Another act on my
dreams it implies that we shouldnt stop at the stage of dreaming because
nothing will happen if we just dream we must do something to make them
happen. Accepting mistakes and failures because if we accept the fact that we
make commit error and have our own flaws we learn from them that we shouldnt
repeat the same mistakes over again. I learned to invest and to see every
situation as an opportunity to become productive because if we keep singlemindedness and dont focus on such opportunities we will be left behind. I also
learned to say no to multi-tasking because when we focus on two things we
might forgone something that is really important so we must take one at a time.
