down the road

yesterday one of my friend was suggesting that due to the pampered nature of the Chinaes and the focus on education, in 10 - 20 years down the road the Bumis will be an economic force to be reckon with.

while Cs are being pampered and provided for and have all their needs met, Bs are out there learning to make a living, starting school of hard knocks at an early age. lots of them will be entrepreneur while Cs will be the professionals working in their company.

this observation is based on the lives of current entrepreneurs that have made it big. most of them started with a few or no dollars in their pocket and do not have Diploma, Degree or MBA. They work really hard and are very street smart.

I kind of agree but at the same time have my reservations as well.

from my observation

a bigger portion of entrepreneurs will/should come from Bs as they're the majority population.

Is have been in an even more disadvantage position, yet we hardly see any entrepreneurs from this group. maybe they don't have a 'Tai-kor' who looks after them well.

Globalisation is in and the more exposure one get the better it will be, school of hard knocks might not cut it anymore.i have read about the Cs networking and although not seen i'm sure it's alive and well. to have had a major business magazine write about it is no small thing.

technology have even the playing field a lot. it will keep changing and there will be jobs available that we've never heard of. so basically the more education you get the better prepared you'll be.

anyway what do i know about the business world and politics.

the topic of discussion with my friend was how to be a good father. how we get sidetracked so easily.
