National Finance Summit

LEARNINGS FROM THE EXPERTS The National Finance Summit held last Saturday gave so many things to ponder on to students as the chosen speakers gave ideas and information that are very helpful and contributive to everyday life of a Finance student. The knowledge they passed on to us future executives may be found and read from the books but learning it from them made a big difference to me. This rare opportunity of joining and listening to the experts of the industry I am belonging to was more than what I expected and more than what I paid for. The effort exerted by the JFINEX officers and junior executives in choosing the best people to give talks about the important matters we should learn was a big success as the speakers were not boring. The discussed topics were also beneficial and of use in the business life. The talk given by the first speaker, Mr. Marvin Fausto, was very interesting and I enjoyed listening to him. The topics he discussed were attention grabbers; in fact all the students’ eyes and ears are focused on him. He was my favorite and the best among the four speakers. He delivered his speech with formality and humor at the same time. The students can learn different things that cannot be obtained from the book in the lecture he gave. Actually, the things he shared were very simple and uncomplicated that’s why the students had fun with him. The ways to get rich and the steps to financial freedom which he imparted to us were remarkable. The steps he gave were something that can’t be erased in our minds for this is not just useful for attaining financial freedom but also to different things like achieving our goals in life. After his speech, the students are talking about the formula he gave and we are planning to compute how much monthly saving we must keep to have financial freedom when we grew old. I remember him saying that ‘Investment is about having enough’. This seems to be very difficult to master for we all know that enough for humans
