3 things that has inspired me:
1. I was inspired in becoming a web designer in the future.
2. I was inspired to work hard and get a nice portfolio.
3. I was inspired to earn money through advertising on blog.
Do you think its useful to have a guest speaker to share their expertise, experience and “Tips & Tricks” of the trade?(explain)
Yes. I think its useful because I can know how it is like to be working in the outside world. I can really imagine how it is like through his sharing of experience. I think that the speaker is very friendly and sincere. Even though he is very young, he is able to work and start earning money. Thus, I think that he is very brave and is someone that we can respect. I believe that after attending the lecture, people will want to be like him in the future.
