A short piece about the talk our minister of finance, Jan Kees de Jager, gave at TEDxRdam
Jan Kees de Jager gave the first talk of the day and it had a few funny moments, it was a short talk so I’ll keep it short as well.
At one point our minister started talking about his transition from being an entrepreneur to a career in politics.
“Was it easy? No it was not, on the first day when I left work and my driver picked me up he had a pretty big bag with him. So I asked him, are you going away for the weekend? “This is for you” my driver said. So I opened the bag and it was filled with papers I had to go through. Luckily nowadays we do all of that via the iPad”
It was very inspiring to hear this once more In this funny way. It shows that even the simplest of actions can have a huge impact.
Jan Kees wanted to leave us with this last thing:
Make sure you’re at the right place at the right time and always take the initiative!
How?
By intuition!
