Competence is seriously needed in the profession. Degree alone is not enough.
|
DISRUPT THE STATUS QUO!
| 1. | Ideas are not enough. You must be action oriented to improve your future.
|
|
| 2. | Don't just think but act. You get results not only from thinking but from acting.
|
|
| 3. | You have ideas. You want to achieve. You want opportunity.
|
|
| 4. | But what are you still doing in your comfort zone? The comfort zone is a dangerous place.
|
|
| 5. | "I wanted to", "I was going to" cannot put on a light bulb, not to talk of moving you forward.
|
|
| 6. | Aren't you tired of hoping and criticizing? Stop defending status quo that locks you down.
|
|
| 7. | GO on the offensive now with IT Education and Empowerment.
|
|
| 8. | What is the use of ideas without action?
|
|
| 9. | Start becoming the achiever you deserve to be.
|
|
| 10. | MAKE SURE THERE IS NO STANDING ROOM FOR EXCUSES. |
