Yes you may be graduated from the best University with first class honors in business administration or Banking and finance and you know how to use all the business buzzword but my dear that is not enough in the real world.

Mind your Own business
Every good chef of course you know sure have their own secret working formula (recipe) for a great dish. In the same vain you need to be true to yourself and find out what works for you.

Who would you rather hire? Be honest?
A The guy who graduated with first honours and knows all the business buzzword at the tip of his fingers but lack ingenuity and is adamant to change in the business.

B The ladies as seen in the picture (pls ignore the nudity) who may have graduated with third class honors but is smart and business suavy.
