The interview with Mr. Winston was very helpful to me. I learnt a lot that could be of assistance to me. As Mr. Winston said, that people in the business field ought to be good time managers. He explains that his success in school, work and business is attributed to one important skill he learnt in school, and that is time management. Mr. Winston`s day starts at 3. 00 AM and ends at 10. 00 PM daily since he joined high school. Secondly, networking was the key in helping him secure for a job in Ford. He cited one point he interacted with an official from the company he works for when they have visited their university. Ever since they maintained contact and after school the person invited him to apply for the position of an accountant in the company. Since he knew what networking could do, he decided to network as much as he could which has earned him several promotions in the company. This encouraged me, and I resolved to real work hard and become a good time manager.
One thing I found surprising in the interview is the willingness of Mr. Winston to share with me. At first I was nervous interviewing him only to learn that he wanted to offer some advice. I also learnt the importance of networking in a more practical situation, and I resolved to invest in it.
