This article focuses on “What kind of environment does the
world need to facilitate the entrepreneurial journey?” The world’s economy is
experiencing adverse effect because of inadequate creation of the right
environment to enable the doers, thinkers and the problem solvers
to harness their creativity and innovation.
As a young passionate entrepreneur who want the full
capturing of the entrepreneurial concept, I write to inspire and enlighten the
world on the need to use entrepreneurship as a blueprint to spearhead economic
growth and development. I therefore with great emphasis continue to say that “A
country that lack entrepreneurial foresight is like a refugee without
destination”
According to Bill Aulet, "entrepreneurship is
fundamentally about having control over one’s destiny. The only way to control
your destiny is to create it".
"The entrepreneurial skill set is an invaluable one that
allows individuals inside and outside an organization to act as catalysts for
progress. It is a skill set based on teamwork, creativity and the creation of
financial stability. It is a skill set, however, that cannot be learned in a
day, which is why I think it has now fully permeated our campuses.
The entrepreneurial skill set is but learned through
experience.("This is why I do not advocate for more classes on
entrepreneurship, but rather for the devotion of more resources and energy to
the formation of entrepreneurial environments, which will help to create
cultures of innovation on our campuses")" -Josemeria Silvestrini

Quest writer, “entrepreneurs in inner city education”
"Entrepreneurship education benefits students from all
socioeconomic background because it teaches kids to think outside the box and
nurtures unconventional talents and skills. Furthermore, it create opportunity,
ensures social justice, instills confidence and stimulates the economy.
Schools do not need to teach these skills on their own. They
can reach out to myriad organizations that help teachers in low-income areas to
teach entrepreneurship, or take advantage of initiatives that pair kids of all
ages with science and engineering experts across the country so they can engage
in hands-on projects.
Entrepreneurship can, and should, promote economic
opportunity. It can serve as an agent of social justice. Julian Young, 29, was
a drug dealer facing a 15-year prison term when a mentor told him he was an
entrepreneur. Years later, Young became the founder and executive director of
The Start Center for Entrepreneurship, an Omala-based organization that helps
women and minorities to launch businesses.
As regards to adoption of practical and learning ways,
Narendra Goidani, Founder, Lifeschool personally feels that it is important
that schools should integrate a subject that would highlight the skill set
required to become an entrepreneur. “As an entrepreneurship cannot be taught
theoretically, schools should adopt practical and learnings way so that people
can incorporate those experience into their real life. If they plan to become
an entrepreneur, practical knowledge given at that stage is of importance as it
makes it easier for you to adjust to the real environment,” he stressed (Nidhi Singh, correspondent, Entrepreneur,
Asia-pacific)"
As a young passionate advocate for entrepreneurship, I will
be happy if the education system of our dear country can create the right
environment for people who often try to do something new, different, better, to
use the cliché, “thinking outside of the box.”
I repeat “A country that lack entrepreneurship
foresight is like a refugee without destination”
