Find your “Studium” – Your reason for learning.

Studium is what I call the intersection between a) What you love b) What the market wants c) Where the trends are going.

To be successful tomorrow you today need to find your Studium. (Studium is Latin for “studying something with zeal and dedication/determination”.)

What is your Studium?

Who do you know who is in university now that needs to understand the power of finding their Studium.
