Experience

Asking the correct questions at the right time and using your listening skill to analyse the other individual's opinion ..

use analytical skill to interpret whether it is right or wrong .. as it may be right in their perspective but different in ours .. at least consult more than 1 advice before making any conclusion .

I am lucky enough to be borned in this family where my father is an entrepreneur .. not only im learning from him about business , but from other experienced people of networking of his ...

Get this valuable opportunity to meet this ex-CFO of a PLC ( ICAEW holder) . the professionalism of her , the broad knowledge in finance , her investor's point of view , confidence in the way she speak , and all others enlighten me towards adult working life ..

really learn a lot from this experienced people .. after hearing from her , i thought she is "100% correct" due to her convincing tone .. but actually there are loopholes here and there which are interpreted by my dad .. it is not all about listening and accepting but , listening and "thinking"
which may be very applicable in study as well .

while having dinner with my relatives , i always sit beside my dad while he talks with my uncles and aunties .. i have uncles who work in Dubai , China and locally , as a GM , FC , and others .. there are all my real life knowledge-provider to me ... the generosity of my dad in treating my uncles for dinner really pays off as it fosters our relationship as well as learning process ..

Entrepreneur and employee have different mindset .. my dad is a real entrepreneur ... the skills he possesses , in both
  • specialist as a valuer
  • generalist as a businessman
makes him different from others ... the lady i met this afternoon also teaches me something important - The richer get richer , the poorer get poorer ... it is not how smart you are , but is how much money you earn in future ... it may sounds like fairy tales to me as im just listening without working for it , but the concept is always applicable ...

whether you want to fall into the 20%(rich) / 80% ( poor) depends on your commitment and determination . nothing comes easy , it is the hardwork that will pay at the end ..
