When I was a freshmen in AU, my friend asked me to help him out with his small business, since
I’m specialize in public speaking, communicating with people, and able to speak in various languages:
Cantonese, English, Thai, and Spanish. He had screen printed many different styles of T-shirt, which he
designed himself with Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. He wanted me to help him to promote and sell
those T-shirts on the street nearby the Ramkhamhaeng road, and also in my university. It was my first
time ever laid my hands on real business. Through this, I’ve learned that business is a lot more complex
than just knowledge, theories or skills. During my studies in university, I took Phycology and Principle of
Marketing courses. Therefore, I studied a lot about consumer’s behavior, also how “truth drives trust, and
trust drives revenue”. But I notice that understanding just the theories won’t be enough, it’s about how
well we apply/execute those theories in action, which, in my opinion, it’s the main key factor to success. I
feel like I have a lot more to learn in this area.

to family encouragement, since both of my parents are merchants. I have always been very curious about

My objective is to further strengthening: my management skills, communication skills,
interpersonal skills, analytical skills, and my leadership ability in the following years of study. I believe
these are vital skills which for being a successful entrepreneur. Therefore, I’m planning to focus myself
on these certain criteria of skills, and improve on it. I believe that I have the qualities to forge a successful
career in this area. I hope I can make an effective contribution to this enrollment, and effectively
implement the knowledge and skills that I obtain in this course, to the real business world.
Business has been in charge of the upgraded innovation that has generally supplanted the drudgery of most physical work, an outcome in part of the innovativeness of business and its readiness to take and bear the weight of money related hazard. Besides, maybe no establishment in our regular life is more proficient in its operations and more discerning in its association than business. No foundation is more receptive to the requests of its constituents than business.
What I love about my course is I am able to apply what I have learnt to real business scenarios.
