I said I'm article manner. Very good morning my friends. I want to show you this morning. One of the reasons why I was very successful in sales is that we didn't limit ourselves to the training that the company gave. In fact, what's quite interesting is that my background, I did organic chemistry and soil science. And while I did not use what I learned in universities directly, I mean, I learned how to synthesize. How to make? Opium to heroin to morphine to codeine and make it 1000 times more potent by adding more functional groups on the molecule. So those kind of things. But I did not do any of that after I left university. But what's very, very interesting is that in my final year project. I did a project on soil acidity and would you believe one of the programs was on a mainframe that came from Stanford University? In this long tip, you know one of those old. Tapes back then and I use that and we analyze the data on the mainframe. For example, we would use some equipment to do OK. Materials from the solar and titrate that and input the numbers in in text format. There was not even a spreadsheet or tables like we have today in Excel or Microsoft Access and input that and it would print out this long and long reams of soil titration curves from that program. So you also had to. Create our own methodology, of course, and this provision and we had to read all the scientific journals and come with mythology and present it and discuss with my supervisor then. But I remember her doctor, Jelden Ricci, very appreciative. She's very nice. Lady. Help me pass, OK? And. That research mentality and the. Experience of using mainframes and other things what led me to IT. So when I came to Zerox and found out that we need to do a customer need analysis, take the data. And Mike Vantage over the other set was that I understood how databases work. So in my one of my first projects that I was successful in setting the Zoloft 100 over cheaper competitors, I used the data and analysis from Excel and those days there was no micro success those Microsoft query. And I created the excel file and link. The results directly to the Word document. And so that his idea that Nancy is the Word document was the proposal itself became updated so. The most important thing that we need to learn is not that we have to get a job. That matches our qualifications. The most important thing is to learn how to learn, how to adapt, and continuous self improvement and learning takes place outside of the formalized borders of the ivory tower of the universities and colleges. So that's the most important thing. Our purpose in going into mainstream medication is to learn how to learn and have the discipline to complete projects from start to finish. Because my project about a year and it constituted 50% of my marks. So I just passed and while I did not use the knowledge directly but the experience was the most useful and has made me I think I could say made 1, 000,000 bucks at least. On that, so don't be disappointed if you did not get the job that matches or qualification but try and learn other things. I'll be adaptively flexible and continual learning and improvement, self analysis and vitamin where industry is heading and try to match. The areas of your expertise with where the industry is heading. OK, that's it for now.
