  1. 3 Things:
    1)Entrepreneurship is about taking a leap of faith.
    2)We have to be mercenaries when it comes to business (So heartless><)
    3)Business costs and how to market stuff (Carousell for the win)

    I will use the lecture on calculating inventory , costs of materials required and plan on how to make profit by ensuring that my capital is greater than the cost of my materials used to run the stall.

  2. 3 things I've learnt:
    1. I have learnt how to plan a business, and at the same time, understand more about the business industry..
    2. I also learnt the techniques of being a good presenter. To name a few:
    -move about, but not too many redundant actions.
    -Be creative about how you present your ideas. (three cheers for group B, btw. you guys are awesome.)
    3. From Uncle Wiliam, I learnt that entrepreneurship/business is about following your gut feeling, and taking the "leap of faith". We must also learn from our mistakes. quote, unquote, "We can fail as many times, but we only need to get one time right to succeed." (I think it's something like that)

    2 experiences:
    1. Interacting more with my group mates. Through the activities of brain storming, discussing, and creating the presentation, i learnt more about my group members (shout out).
    2. Presenting infront of the whole sec 1 cohort. This is my first time standing infront of so many people, presenting my ideas. (or the group ideas).

    1 lesson:
    After learning how to brainstorm your ideas, improving on them, and then presenting them to mass number of people, I will apply these learnt skills into the presentations in class.
