The Numbers That Shaped My Journey: A Year in Sydney

I was jumping up and down with joy! For the first time, all 51 boxes of the Sudoku puzzle in the “Week-End” newspaper were unerringly filled. For an 8-year-old armed with nothing more than a pencil and a weekly paper, this was a monumental accomplishment.

What are Some Promising Career Paths for BBA Graduates in 2025?

Over the years I have been asked by many BBA grads for advice on the best career choice and how to achieve it. My answers have changed over the years, but my recommended process has not.

Landing your first internship is always special, but for me, it was an extraordinary milestone.
