Sta Rosa Regis Entrep Students

 These are the stories I remember from their introduction last night, re:   Secret Desires:

MARK LESTER SALVADOR:   He is an avid extreme athlete.  He did a l7 hours ultramarathon and did a semi iron man.  He bikes, runs and  swims.  He works at Carrier, Concepcion and contemplates on being a CEO on his own, or for corporate. As a loyal Carrierian, he does not speak well of Koppel AC in the classroom.  It does not cool enough, badly maintained, is dirty.  Early on, he wants to be in charge of a group;  but his secret desire is to be a pedicab driver.  And I commented it is apt because he drives, and brings people to their destinations (what a leader must do)

He says he blogs and such is is running blog:  the Knightrunner which I all ready visited. I  imitated his gadget:  the flag counter.  (You can see that this blog is read globally)

LEAH.  Works at Gardenia (the breadmaker) and is the class sec.  She looks like she is 20 only but  maybe is not being truthful when  she says she is 33?  She was orphaned early on and had to take charge of her life and that of her siblings being the eldest.  She is contemplating as to whether she will continue to be a career woman or a mother to her her child/ren

GERRY.  Works at Sumiden and is involved in R & D.  They make flexible circuit board.  He wanted to be a policeman but did not pursue the same.  His family line had many police officers.  He wanted to be cut the family tradition of  indiscretion (at the male side).  He was the first student I met at the campus.

NORMAN.  Is a true expat and a global manager for Carrier/Concepcion and does a lot of work on process improvement.  Many Carrier companies in the region report to him.  He all ready has a business plan in mind consultancy in his specialization but wants to finish his MBA first before taking the road less taken. Since he was late for more than 30 minutes, to make up, he started by treating me to coffee and bread at Red Ribbon.  (It is the house rule in the syllabus, and the consequence is being marked as absent if you do not treat the entire class.  Norman, may utang ka sa kanila.  Baka puwede zesto or 3 in l)

The others, Armand, Redentor (except for his hint on a different kind of scholarship) were shy on what they wanted to do.  Armando well, wanted to be scout for beautiful models.  To which, we said, give us your contact address/cp number; or maybe we can carry your luggage or be his PA?

I noticed that most of the guys, true to the location and service area are mostly engaged in production/opeman.  Most are in production planning, engineering, r & d, process improvement, kaizen, quality, construction.  This is a great review, education for me on production/engineering.

At Regis in Rockwell, they were mostly IT.

                                     The early birds, two were late, one was absent

      She was conscious as I took the picture but wants to invent new materials and dabble in Jewelry

                               Leah, of Gardenia, the class sec, looking 20 ish

                           Mark, an ultra man, slim and fit, looking like saviour, and a movie star

I understand, Mark our pedicab driver will do a Mararthon this Sunday.  Let us all cheer him up and support him.  It is a tough exercise to follow and do.







Our generation needs an ENTREPRENEURIAL REVOLUTION.
