Well, the day fourth day has arrived and we’re coking with gas! – figuratively...
I must say, one has to admire the level of confidence, assertiveness and eagerness to learn that has been displayed at the road to Davos forum! I really hope and wish that the participants will harness this energy and use it when they get home.
Although we’ve only seen the sun once this week, the excitement levels are high.
The participants are having fantastic opportunities to learn practical skills such as how to present yourself and your idea to people of different ages – what you should be aware of when you talk to people, when you’re listening, thinking critically, working with teams and so forth.
I hope you’ve been ticking off specific things off that list we spoke about when you preparing to come here.

The trip to the parliament building seemed to get the bright young minds excited - they fared very well I must say – asked interesting and intelligent questions. So, you have definitely been learning something!
Direct talk: Tomorrow is the last day for most of you - I say, use it to make sure you’ve gotten as much as you can from this experience and catch up with people you haven’t had time to talk to. Remember, it’s about you baby!

Thank you for the wise motivation Asania. This week has certainly been a mixture of practical and intelectual excersies and I know that all of us have enjoyed it.
