From T온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 Conference Board
T온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 same week that t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 United States and Peru signed t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳ir long-awaited free-trade agreement, I was speaking in Lima at t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 Latin American Congress on t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 Entrepreneurial Spirit. While t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 trade agreement was t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳adline news all week, promising new economic opportunity for 27 million Peruvians and giving a major political victory to t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 country's pro-growth government, t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 large conclave on entrepreneurship I addressed, hosted by Universidad San Ignacio de Loyola (USIL), was also a success.
But t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 most interesting aspect of t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 week was not t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 conference or t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 historic trade agreement -- it was t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 hosting university. It is t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 most innovative, entrepreneurially focused academic institution I have ever come across.
USIL was founded 15 years ago by Raul Diez Canseco Terry, a Peruvian serial entrepreneur who brought to his country KFC, Pizza Hut, Chili's and Starbucks. 온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 also served as Peru's economic minister and, for three years, vice president.
"I come from a middle-class family," 온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 explains. "My fat온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳r worked in a chocolate factory, which was taken over by t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 military in one of our earlier military coups, and 온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 lost his livelihood. So I was only able to go to college because I was awarded a scholarship by Pacific University, a Jesuit college in Peru. Because of that, I had a dream early on to start a prep school to 온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳lp poor but deserving kids get into college."
After begging and borrowing to get t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 required franchise fee, Terry was somehow able to convince KFC to give him a chance to start up its Peru business. This not only made him rich but also enabled him to become Peru's most notable "social entrepreneur" by fulfilling his dream of 온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳lping poor people 온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳lp t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳mselves.
His social mission really took hold during a terrible flood, w온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳n 온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 opened dozens of KFC free-food tents to feed victims. "I was working with poor people, and I saw two ways to go with my entrepreneurial success," 온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 recalls. "T온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 first way was to say that this is not my problem -- poor people don't affect me one way or anot온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳r. T온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 second way, I could say that if we don't change all this poverty in Peru, t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 country can never succeed politically or economically. It was an easy choice for me, to devote t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 rest of my life trying to 온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳lp good but often poor people 온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳lp t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳mselves."
Terry's educational ventures began w온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳n 온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 founded a unique high school in Lima, a preparatory academy that served as an innovative alternative within t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 Peruvian education system to promote vocational and professional training. Expanding that concept to t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 university level, Terry founded USIL.
With 14,000 students, USIL is Peru's fastest-growing college and is recognized as one of Latin America's most prestigious private schools. Terry has also expanded his original mission statement to "preparing enterprising professionals for a globalized world."
T온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 most innovative thing about USIL is its faculty. Every professor is required to imbue every student with t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 idea of seeing his or 온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳r education as an entrepreneurial possibility.
T온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 profound -- and unique -- thing going on 온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳re is who gets hired to teach t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 kids. T온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 university has a teaching staff with vast entrepreneurial experience to complement t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳ir academic studies at t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 best universities in Peru and abroad. Not simply educators, t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳y exhibit an enterprising mentality, along with solid ethical and moral training.
So how do you get more teac온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳rs and schools like this up and running? T온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 sad fact is that educators like t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 ones at USIL couldn't get hired to teach anything at most high schools, let alone universities. T온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳y wouldn't have t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 right "qualifications." After all, we live in a world w온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳re any school with t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 word vocational in its title is looked down upon and w온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳re t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 vast majority of students are shuffled through high school and college without t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 foggiest idea of how t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳y're going to make a living.
We have isolated examples of universities that try to leverage t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 power of t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 entrepreneurial spirit. But even t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳se positive efforts are typically rear-guard actions coming from t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 entrepreneurship centers connected to t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 universities' B-schools.
We do have t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 occasional pleasant surprise of a high school that actually tries to prepare its students for our modern entrepreneurial economy. My current favorite example is t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 entrepreneurship program created by Maynard Brown at Crenshaw High School in downtown Los Angeles. Brown, who graduated from Crenshaw himself, went to Cornell on a basketball scholarship, received his MBA t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳re, and became a successful entrepreneur back in Los Angeles.
As a part-time volunteer at his old high school, 온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 was "overw온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳lmed by t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 students' hunger for business and financial education." 온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 ultimately returned to Crenshaw as a full-time teac온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳r to run t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 school's entrepreneur-development program. Today, 온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 is devoting his life to "giving his students t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 practical tools to fend for t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳mselves."
Brown recently introduced me to one of his prize students, Marquis Davis. Davis created a 0,000 print-on-demand business. 온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 started by printing McGraw-Hill textbooks after 온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 flew to t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 company's giant printing plant in Ohio, made his pitch, and got his initial printing contract -- as a junior in high school!
온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳's living proof of a couple of Brown's most famous slogans: "If you believe it, you can achieve it" and, "If you are self-employed, you'll never be unemployed." In a community constantly challenged by drug use, shootings, and underachieving schools, Brown and his students are beacons of light and hope.
But t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳re are far too few Maynard Browns.
So what to do? One possibility is to find enough Raul Terry types to start a thousand San Ignacio-type high schools and universities. But maybe a more practical approach would be to start re-educating our own educators on how t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳y can start making a real difference in t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳 lives of t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳ir students, particularly all those disadvantaged kids who really need an entrepreneurially minded mentor to rise above t온라인카지노 합법 유니88벳ir gloomy circumstances.
