Well, I am continually scraping up the piece of my whole dream jigsaw puzzle. I undertook my wonderful three days with EYLN 2010 in UKM last week. Unforgettable and meaningful. Following the magnificent Youth Engagement Summit 2009, EYLN 2010 once again pierce through my mind with urdent passion.
The EYLN stand as Entrepreneurship & Youth - A Learning Network. Literally, this is one of the Malaysia Young Entrepreneur Conference for the purpose of gathering the whole nation youth who are feverishly interested in developing entrepreneurship. This year, EYLN 2010 had been organized by AIESEC UKM and set up the theme of "Green Entrepreneurship".
Ok, let's story start with some grumbles:
Day one, the starting time of the conference is between 7.30am and 8.30am. Hence, in order to meet up the time, I took the midnight train from my hometown, Kluang, all the way alone went straight to KL Central which estimated would be arrived there at 6.30am. Our "High Class" KTM really eager to provide us with better service, it delayed four hours throughout the journey. No doubt, I finally arrived at KL Central at 10.30am and KTM Komuter took me one hour again to get to National Unverisity of Malaysia(UKM) where the venue of conference.
Alright, that's it.
Yes, I am lated. I missed out the opening ceremony and the first talk.
This was the first scence appeared in my sight once I finally got into the conference's hall. After few minute, I ensconced myself in the hall's flatbed seat and started to enjoy the lecture. First, there was Nazril Idrus from LVG Consultants. As a professional financial fortress coach, he was using his fascinating tongue to convey the concept of financial intelligence. What is financial intelligence? In other words, that's mean how to manage the finance intelligently(Joke :P Haha). As a future potential entrepreneur, we must know how to effectively manage our money, debt and also property.
Especailly when we are going to make a debt, we need to accurately distinguish between the good debt and bad debt. For instance, university tuition fee is absolutely a good debt. We loan to fulfil our university courses and it's inevitably a good investment as it provides us with more professional knowledge as well as social skills which will be useful while we fully trap into competitive society. Reversely, making debt on buying luxurious gadgets will definitely makes no sense to put burden on our shoudler.
Secondly, Nazril Idrus gave out an impressive point of view. "Invest you money early" When you starting invest your money or saving your money on the younger age, you will take advantage on gaining more experience and capital.

After a lunch break, we warmly welcomed our next speaker: Puan Chan Cheong - the founder of Green Packet Inc.
As one of the Malaysia best entrepreneur, He was sharing his splendid and successful entrepreneurial experience to us. CC.Puan quoted an inspirable definition of entrepreneurship on the starting of his talk:
"Entrepreneurship is about those who dare to dream the dreams and are foolish enough to try and make their dreams come true"
In the next chapter of his talk, he shared with us some of his key of success:
"Patience and relationship are essential to develop entrepreneurship"
"When you are optimistic, don't over-estimated yourself, remember nothing is simple"
"When you are discouraged, remember anything is possible"

Next, there are something that I learnt from Harvestnet Sdn. Bhd..
Nyou Wei Fung, the business director of Harvestnet, said that: As a young generation, we must always "think out of the box", innovation and creativity are what essential to set off your business.
Let's convert Albert Einstein well-known formula E=MC2 into our personal character:
"Energetic=Mass x Creativity x Consistency"
Yes, when you get that three points and bring them together, you will become energetic to go toward building your dream.
Also, Sir Nyou cited out some keys which must be pay attention when we are going to propose a project paper.
The 6Ps key in project paper writing:__________________________________________________
Preparation- Market research & viability study
Profile- Background of product,personal
Presentation- Susbtance & Form
Process- Ensure workflow & How to get there
Profitability- S.M.A.R.T

He stepped on the stage without any computer slide. He used an interactive way to talk about the essence of communication. First, communication is so important to our daily life. In order to success in either business market or society, we must know how to accurately master our language or body language to reveal your idea. Use communication to identify yourself. Only the particular or specific idea will make a deep impression to other people and make people more curious to know about you.

"All great achievements, begin with a belief." He said.
It's really come to the tough period that we must be responsible to our mother-Earth.
Our mother getting worse and worse because of our human being insatiable greed. He strongly appealed us-as a young generation, we must take action to this matter and immediately figure out the solution.
We were sharing our joyfulness in the last day.
Overall, here just a small fraction of experience sharing of the EYLN 2010, there were more boundless spirit that couldn't convey by limited words. What's more, I always hold the belief that the more people you meet, the more inspiration you get. Except just get learning from a sort of fiery speaker, enjoying the conversation with a sea of talent from different background was absolutely impressive. It's help you to expand your social network and you will be able to exposed yourself into wide-ranging of experience sharing.
Ultimately, pessimistic is no longer exist, if you really and fully explore your life, don't seal up yourself in just a little small box, go ahead and dare to do what you dream to do.
