A Talk by Patrick Awuah

Eng Han sent me the link to the following video. It's rather inspiring. The speaker is Patrick Awuah, a Ghanaian who studied in Swarthmore College and worked in Microsoft in the US. He went back to his native country of Ghana to set up Ashesi University College, a liberal arts college, and is the current president of the college.



Ghana achieved independence in 1957, the same year that Malaysia did. Which explains why I've heard news reports before of comparison between the 2 countries. However, as far as we Malaysia have come so far, there are still things I think we need to change and improve on. And if positive change can happen in Ghana, I feel there is still hope for Malaysia.
