Symposium on Entrepreneurship: A Reflection


Speaker: Warren Ronell Flores

It's somehow fascinating how in only an hour and a half minutes, someone
can change your perspective on something. Seldom can you find this in
any symposiums, and seldom can you find a speaker that is eloquent and
who truly believes in what they're saying.

I am not going to lie, entrepreneurship is not really something I am keen on


when talked about. I absolutely don't take pride of being a business-minded
person despite growing up surrounded with two. When I think of
entrepreneurship, I instantly think of money, and anything associated with
money, I don't get around easily. However, with this symposium, ideas
shifted in just a snap, and new ones immediately came into view.

In this symposium, with speaker Sir Warren Flores, his talk is centered
around entrepreneurship being more than what people—like me—think it
is. I realized that it is really beyond just making money. It is also about
meeting the needs of people, and that alone is far more meaningful and
important. While some businesses—we can't deny this fact—run after
making money, there are those who are built upon an advocacy;
something that is built upon a personal experience. Some put up a
business for the sole purpose of helping others because they have this
vision of a better future, and in what better way to make that possible? My
idea of it being just about money instantly changed, and made me even
think of putting up one with a similar foundation.

Sir Warren also made me realize that entrepreneurs are successful at what
they do because they literally put so much love in doing it. And doing
something with a heart that's burning with passion will truly get you
somewhere you have never even expected. Doing what you love cannot be
only applied in the field of business, but in all aspects of life as well. As long
as you set your mind into doing something and have that determination to
finish it, you'll get to the finish line. And so what if you fail? So what if there
are lapses? You just improve, improve, and improve, because perfection
requires time to be perfected.

To get a better understanding and newly-found ideas on this subject is


ultimately a gateway to unlocking a door that you didn't know was there.
You find yourself starting to think, "What if I can do this too? Because if
they can, why can't I?"
