There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.
- Colin Powell
One of the memories of my childhood I deeply cherish is that of my first day in school. I distinctly remember tears in my eyes since I was in a new environment. We were made to draw, we were reciting rhymes and by the end of the day I began to love my school. I was fortunate to have good early education and as I grew math challenged me and gave me joy. Learning itself became my passion.
The employability ration and statistics for business students who are under 25 years of age have always been strong. For students like me who can think out of box and are open to new ideas, initiatives or strategies. For me personally it is my belief that it will prepare me for a bright career not just a job. In my humble opinion, business studies will also allow me to enhance my personality and broaden my mental horizon.
Since I enjoy business administration, I really do look forward to learn those skills that will prepare me for everyday problem solving in a business environment. This will also enhance my personal life. Business is the way of life; everybody is involved in business activities

Over this course of this semester, I have learned a tremendous amount of information about myself from the self-exploration series. The results of my PGI (Personal Globe Inventory) presented me with a couple of different career paths to explore. The first type of career that was brought up to my attention was an enterprising career. There were a number of enterprising careers, but the one that interested me the most was business management. I decided to choose the business management because I am majoring in Sustainability and my focus is in Economics. I think business management would be an excellent fit for myself because I have actually done some research prior to this class about management. I would like to someday own an ice rink, and I think that becoming a manager would be a great stepping-stone towards reaching my goal. The requirements for becoming a business manager vary from university to university, but the overall direction of the major revo...
I can vaguely remember the days at St. James Catholic School when nap time, learning the ABC’s, and what I was going to play at recess were at the top of my concerns. In each grade new ideas were taught and learned. In Preschool, I learned how to color inside of the lines and how to sing the ABC’s. While in Kindergarten and First grade, I learned the basics of reading and how to properly write. Second grade was the year I learned how to write in cursive. In third grade, test taking became regular and lifelong friendships started to form. My early years in school taught me the basics for what I needed in the future.
The best memories that still live on, are the only two. My first best memory is when I learned I seem to have a talent in math. As it seems, I am a savant in memorizing formula related facts and reapplying them to other problems. My second and last good memory of Elementary school was the friends I made. We had a group of about six. It consisted of, let us call them two Jacksons, a Max, a Martha, an Ashton, and I. One of the Jacksons grew away from us, the other becoming an extremely close friend, Max had to move away, I reunited with Martha and Ashton this year, and I have become a much better friend to
Some people take advantage of two, or maybe three of those opportunities. Not taking advantage of opportunities doesn't necessarily mean that it is impossible for one to succeed, but the more opportunities someone takes advantage of the less time it will take for them to reach their goals. Opportunities come and go, but the next step is looking for and creating new opportunities for yourself. Many successful people have also said this such as Orison Swett Marden: “Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities. Seize common occasions and make them great. Weak men wait for opportunities; strong men make them.” This quote directly supports the second “secret to success”. It tells us that although you can wait for opportunities to come, you need to make opportunities for yourself to be truly successful. For example, the I joined my school’s play even though I didn’t really want to at first. When I told the teacher that I wanted to join, it was already past the application deadline, but I showed him some of my skills and he eventually let me

I am studying Business Administration here at UF because in the future I hope to be a successful businesswoman. Since the early age of 6, I was an entrepreneur. When I was six, I began my own business in my community, and sold products (toys) on the block that I no longer wanted in order to make a profit. This past summer, I created my own jewelry company and it was a success from the start. I used social media to advertise, sales skills to move forward and generate more revenue, and my artistic ability to create products. I see myself as someone with a strong drive to make it in the business world.

The person who wishes to success, he should recognize his weakness and formulates a plan to overcome them and he must have a clear goal for life. What's need is an idea put into action followed with proper planning and persistency.

I was very fond of business administration and I gained a lot of management skills and knowledge on how to manage and develop business as well my personal life. I am very focused on business management specifically on an international aspect because I am interested to know in depth how business works locally and internationally. I learnt many aspects on client-manager interaction and this fascinated me on how businesses are managed and developed from one level to the other.

Often times, I can’t help but wonder what my life would be like if I haven’t been exposed to the world of business; a wonderful career that changed my life completely. I have taken interest in business career because I love calculating numbers and interacting with people; But most importantly, my fascination in business came from my grandfather. He taught me many valuable tips on how to be a successful person, and most certainly how to run a business. He was not only a successful businessman, but also a respected individual. One of the businesses that he owned was a company called “Wu Long Tea Factory”. The main thing that they produce is tea of course, but they also have products such as cakes, candies, and all kinds of stuff. By being the production manager’s assistant of this company, I was able to experience everything that was going on in the factory. Even though that was the background I grew up in, my biggest fascination wasn’t in being a manager in a factory; it was the finance part that got me all excited. Often times I can even see myself sitting in my office and work on clients’ financial profiles and statements. I also took extra math classes and participated in many of the competitions in order to prepare myself to succeed in this particular field. Other things that I also did to get me well prepared are joining school activities, applying internships, and having jobs. I believe that all my hard work will pay off, when I see myself as a successful businessman.
