Working for several years now, I have learned a few things about succeeding in the workplace: the need for genuine talent, dedication to your craft, and pragmatic approach to running any business. Nothing is truer than the fact that education should continue until the end of our lives, and I have taken this principle to heart. That’s why I am seriously interested in pushing the envelope further, as far as what I know about business is concerned. Now that global business activities are moving fast as ever, I’d like to be able to gain the practical knowledge, skills, and instincts that I need to stay on top, face my competition, and be able to conduct business here and abroad.
