I was 11 years old," started Mr. Ek and continued on

native Sweden to subscribe to their breakfast bread.
Mr. Ek also urged everyone to find a business
they can feel passionate about, "entrepreneurs have to
work hard and if you don't feel passionate about the business,
it will be really hard to keep up the work.

- cool and inspiring. One student
said that she wasn't ready to start a business yet but that
Mr. Ek's speech had really encouraged her to make sure to
find a job that she could really enjoy and care for.
Mr. Ek was very happy with the presentation
and said he would not mind the least to come back in future
