The above statement is something what my
director once told me when I was firing questions at a colleague at work. At
that time I was the blind who was following the path chosen for me but today I experienced
leading others (hopefully not at the wrong path).
I officially stepped into the world of INSPIRING THE YOUTH.
So I guess
it’s a milestone achieved another one added to the things I want to keep doing
in life. Surprising yet interesting how the next generation is a lot more
focused and determined as compared to we were at their age. I mentored some GCSE / A-level students
aiming to develop a career in Engineering. Just an afternoon and they showed
some very impressive attributes
·
The crave to learn about new
things
·
Not just absorbing new
information but the ability to use it
·
Confidence to speak up and
share their thoughts
·
Good sketching skills
A simple puzzle that people take years to solve
they taught me in one afternoon. ENGINEERING is not crunching numbers it’s the development
of an idea into something more INTERESTING. No they didn’t tell me how to do my
job but they definitely showed me the thirst of knowledge – desire to do something
and I am looking forward to see more of the young ones off course for very
selfish reason i.e. STAYING MOTIVATED.
