Today I joined an undergraduate business conference which organizes by CPA Australia and CPA Australia Student Charter (Swinburne Sarawak). The conference held at Lecture Theater in Swinburne University off Technology, Sarawak Campus. The conference started at around 9:15a.m. They started with the Welcoming address, Occasional address, Launching of conference presentation of momentous and photo taking session. After finished the opening ceremony, they continue with the talks.
The first talk was about entrepreneurship and how to face adversity and challenges with real-life experiences shared by CEO of Money Tree Asia Pacific Limited- Mr. Michael Reyes. The second talk was giving by Dr Edward Lim, FCPA also on “Challenge the Boundaries”. The last talk is giving by CPA Australia, Malaysia Division on the CPA Program and how it can help your career after graduation. The conference had ended at around 3p.m.
The talk that gives me most impression was the second talk. This is because the talk is asked us to challenge our own boundaries. The speaker always asked us what we want to do in next five or ten year. He also told us to start planning today so that we can achieve our dream in future. At that time, I started to think after ten year where am I? I will in office or in seminarian? This is because my ambition is to become a priest. Actually I think I already planning my future and now I may be started my planning already. As I know to become a priest, I need to finished my bachelor and I need to work for around three years before I can join the seminarian. My planning is I finish my Degree and try to get my CPA license or become CPA qualify Accountant. During the time that I try to get my CPA license I will also find a job in the audit firm or in big company. This is because I think I can learn more and can get more experiences. After I become the CPA qualify Accountant and have working experience around 3 to 5 years, I will go to seminarian to study so that I can become a priest.
That is my planning for my future. I really not sure whether I follow my plan in the future, but the only thing that I can sure that I will try my best to finish my degree course in Swinburne Sarawak in month of July 2011 and will find a job to work after I graduate form Swinburne Sarawak.
