I’ll Be a CEO One Day!
Well, yet another Friday night gone by. T’was a good night more or less, but still I sit here at 2:45am on my computer, immensely tired, but I keep truckin’ on. After all my buddies ditched me to turn in for the night, I wander up and down my MSN list for someone to chat with. The ad at the bottom, the one you ignore, caught my eye. Something about Britany Spears (I’m a guy, ok!). I opened the article, read the first statement, and I was hooked, to the X in the top-right of the screen. I then noticed an article about Company CEOs advice to teens. That sort of caught my eye.
Turns out some 17 year old kid emailed about 150 (WOW) CEOs from corporations around the world. Reading through it, I found it to be great advice, and it gave me something to think about - where am I going with my life (and what color Jetta will get me there)! I pretty much know it already, but I did stop to re-think some things. I recommend everyone read it, teen or not. It’s really down to earth and inspiring. Do yourself a favor; it will only take 15 minutes. (Maybe more for slow readers… me!)
Nation’s top CEOs give a teenager some advice
Note: Be sure to check out the list of people who responded to his letters (underneath the article). Makes me have a bit more respect for those companies,
and a bit less for those who I am sure he wrote to but couldn’t respond (Billy).
