Competence
to Enhance Students’
Independence
First of all I would like to
thank to God Allah SWT, that has given us favor and mercy especially for today
we could be together in this special occasion. And I also don’t forget to thank
to the committees to give me this time.
We
gather around to discuss one great theme as “The Development
of Entrepreneurship’s Competence to Enhance The Students’ Independence”, in this opportunity I’d like
to deliver this speech of mine related to our main theme, titled as “Tomorrow
is YOURS”
Ladies and Gentlemen
Before we go down to our
discussion, judging from the main theme, I’d propose to put ourselves about the
meaning of Entrepreneurship’s Competence on the same page first. Entrepreneurship’s Competence
here is the ability to have, to master, and to maintain a particular
self-aspects.
Then from now on, I’d consider
that we’re already on the same page. And so, we shall continue.
Ladies and Gentlemen
I must say that I am a zero
experience of anything related to Entrepreneurship thingy. Accordingly, I’ve
gone for such a little observation asking out a few gentlemen, some of the men
in the suit, and some of whose jobs require these particular self-aspects.
They answered me with a variant aspects of what an entrepreneur should have.

of what included in that particular self-aspects and let’s also hear what the

Ladies and Gentlemen
After we together analyzed the
self-aspects of what an entrepreneur should have, now let’s we go down to the
relation between Entrepreneurship’s Competence with Students’ Independence.
Students’ Independence here can be interpreted as :
1) The ability to have the
mindset of “not becoming the worker” or “to-work-to-oriented”
2) The ability to cope in every
situations, to put themselves as the condition needed
Let’s we study them one by
one. First is, The ability to have the mindset of ‘not becoming the worker’ or
‘to-work-to-oriented’. This in specified meaning, as once we graduate, It’s not
about what job is going to be, where you’ll work, or to whom you work, it’s
about YOU. Creating that job, and you even create the job vacancies for others,
helping the Government to overcome the un-employees issue in our country. And
this mindset grows as we the students developing their small-beginning
business. Then, somehow implanted on their minds, “..once I finish my studies,
I’m going to buy myself a nice, big, and fancy office. Where all my
daily-business run, where all my employees working, and all my company errands
operating..”
This is what should be
implanted on their minds as their big motivation to start their
small-beginning business after graduation. To make it even bigger, to expand
its cope even wider.
Secondly, is The ability to
cope in every situations, to put themselves as the condition needed. It refers
to the every situation that an entrepreneur will be facing.
It first takes a strong will,
motivation, and a firm determination to start everything with. Next, it’ll
have every entrepreneur-to be a bravery to begin the starting-business.
Then, they should have a proper management, or a team to make the business
works. On the next phase, it’s their beginning motivation as in firm
determination that will help or assist them to cope in every stumble and fall circumstances.
And imagine this, on every process
they’re facing, it’s teaching them how to control themselves of what it takes
to survive on every circumstances. They will learn how to be firm, consistent,
risk-baring, to have the integrity, conceptual and strategic thinking, costumer
sensitivity, persistence, and even tolerance. Because they have to work as a
team and a good team is who’s respecting each other. And of course, the very
important aspect Leadership, since they were the one who began the
business, they had to become the leader. A leader to a team, and a leader for
themselves.
This is a process of what so
called as Character-office, creating a new Independent Student or
after all a newborn successful
entrepreneur.
Ladies and Gentlemen
In conclusion, to have a
qualified Entrepreneurship’s Competence , an entrepreneur-to be must have,
master, and maintain the required self-aspects in order to cope and to lead the
market. Or in my personal conclusion, Entrepreneurship’s Competence can be defined by two persistent aspects:
1. Determination
2. Consistency
Ladies and Gentlemen
I did tell you that I am a
zero experience in entrepreneurships thingy, right ? but since I am, it is true
that I have this curiosity of wanting to taste, to know how it feels. And this curiosity
will grow to be a will, a motivation, and a firm determination. Then, I want to
be a young successful entrepreneur. We do agree that it’s easier saying than
doing it, but I do believe with consistency, we would cope. So, do you ? do you
want to help our Government to decrease
the number of un-employees in our beloved country and increase the GNP ? Do you
?
Before I end this speech, I’d
like to say that it’s indeed right, what people say that ’nothing is
impossible’ well, unless you want to be a cyborg instead of human like an
Iron Man, or becoming a vampire like Bella Swan who has everything in Edward’s
life. The answer is, Definitely YES, IMPOSSIBLE.
Ladies and Gentlemen
I think it’s the end of my
speech. I beg your pardon if I made a mistake of I might have said some
unpleasant words. Thank you so much for your attention, I hope you had an
enjoy-listening.
Last one from me, Do what you
Love, and Love what you do. Because Tomorrow is YOURS !
