'Bout Buisness

This's the Q and A 'bout buisness between me and JY, a senior who's studying buisness in UTAR.

Q: Hey, actually I want to open a cafe when I grow up. Thatz why I also want to study buisness. But sometimes I think that my dream is not that realistic. Especially when it comes to the money/ modal problem. Can you give me some opinion?


A: bout your question ... let me tell you a story ... a story of my idol where i put him as my motivator ... the late tan sri lim goh tong was from china ... he couldnt afford a proper education and his family was so poor that he came to malaysia to earn a living ... from there, we could see the late tan sri dont have money and the education which it is said to be the core to be successful ...

what makes the late tan sri so successful is his determination, vision and motivation that pushes him up to the top of the world ... if we know the late tan sri can do it without money and proper education, why couldnt we do it also ?

this is the question where we need to think about ... replace your dream as your goal ... set your goal and remain FOCUS in it ... be determine with your goal ... and soon enough, you will get what u want to achieve in your life ... money/ modal problem is future ... depends on whether people want to invest for you or you yourself can work for it ...

i dont think your dream of opening a cafe is unrealistic ... it is good to set a goal from young so we could have time to achieve it ... do you want to be 30 years old and above only to set your own goal ? by that time, it is too late ...

now u know what u want to achieve ... remain FOCUS in it ... i use FOCUS cause if you really give your full attention in one thing, u will really become successful provided the PROCESS to achieve it is RIGHT ...

as my blog up there post ... NEVER GIVE UP ! do u want to be like the one who gave up and see other people becoming successful ? i'm sure you dont ...

if u have dream, live it =)

cheers ^^

Q: So, if I want to be in the buisness line, should I straight away go to Arts stream? But studying account in malay is damn bored. So can I study sc stream 1st, then I change to buisness when I go to college? Thx for your advice.

A: welcome =) i'm glad that i can open your mind and expose yourself to the world ... hehe ...

yes, you may post that advice to your blog ... hope the advice above can bring hope to you and your friends as well ...

business line is vast ... there are a big varieties of lines and majors you could follow ... but, be focus on what you want to achieve first ... i said that because your personality and your attitude could make you choose the best major you want when you further your studies ...

let me tell you about the majors ...

a: business admin (office job)
b: marketing (deal with product, place, promotion and price)
c: accounting (obviously about accounts)
d: entrepeurnership (building and manage company)
e: financial economics (deal with investments)
f: finance (about stocks, bonds and all)
g: banking and finance (banking and also financing)

find a major which suits you and you enjoy doing it ... dont because of peer influences only you choose that subject ...

and you talk about arts and science stream ... if you are saying you will go to business stream, why do you want to waste your time in science stream ? those subjects dont help you in future ...

thats all i would like to say ...

Q: Well, if I really want to open a cafe, which course should I take? Buisness and what?

A: erm ... yea ... business ... well ... if u plan to open and manage ... entrepreneurship suits you ...

Well, maybe the advice works for me. Hehe~
