It’s been<\/strong> a tough few days for me, kicked off by a run-in with my direct supervisor at work. I’ve been putting most of my energy and focus into a project that I thought I was clear on. Turns out, though, that her vision is a whole lot different than mine. How did that happen? After thinking about it for awhile, it appears that my desire for the work was so strong that I couldn’t hear or believe anyone who wanted something else. The whole fiasco has pretty well kicked the wind out of me, so I’m back to square one–analysis and planning–but, the truth is that I’ve lost most of my heart for the work.<\/p>\n

An article<\/strong> in the New Straits Times<\/em> (Malaysia) gave me a boost, though. It may do the same for you. You gotta love these kids. They know what they want and how to get there. Oh, to have the gift of a child’s faith. Here they are, finishing the thought, “If I were an entrepreneur…”<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI would make sure that the products I sell bring benefits to my customers. The products would be personally invented by me. My customers are guaranteed to get excellent service from me. I would get their feedback on my products and do my best to improve the quality of my products to fit their requests.\u201d \u2013 Nur Afiqah Azizan, 11, Bangi<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to set up an entreprenuer school specifically for unfortunate children, students who come from poor families and the physically impaired. This would help them gain knowledge and exposure to be an entrepreneur so they would have a better future. In addition, I would like to promote Malaysia as an ideal country that offers good products and a full range of local cuisine for tourists to try and enjoy. This initiative would also further promote the 1Malaysia spirit.\u201d \u2013 Siti Zainal Sabihah Roslan, 14, Bangi<\/p>\n

\u201cI would have a chain of boutiques. I would also love to start my own magazine since I love to write.\u201d \u2013 Manpreet Kaur Sandhu, 14, Kuala Lumpur<\/p>\n

\u201cI would develop a new awesome Web site for social networking like Facebook, MySpace or Friendster. Maybe I would be like Bill Gates who was an entrepreneur and generated computer software ideas. I would even love to manage a business, even though there\u2019s considerable risks.\u201d
\n\u2013 David Kang Zheng Hoong, 16, Bandar Tasik Selatan<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to boost the economy by doing business and helping my family!\u201d \u2013 Puteri Alia Halid, 12, Petaling Jaya<\/p>\n

\u201cI would invent a custom-fitted shoe line consisting of only hand-painted shoes for all my customers so as not to discriminate against those with really small or big feet.\u201d \u2013 Elsheba K. Abraham, 16, Subang Jaya<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
