«The last year was really exciting for me, with lot of downs and even more ups. I finished my last year of studies Development of business informational systems on Faculty of Economics and Business in Sarajevo. During the last year of my studies I reflected about myself and taught of my future. Some decisions I made were not greatest. With support of my friends I realized that we cannot escape from worries but if we truly want something we can overcome them and continue in forward direction. I got an opportunity to work on development of Raiffesien internet platform with seven colleagues. I have learned business culture while I was working on the project. Afterwards, I got an opportunity to work on Microsoft “Network 8 – Make IT cLOUD» which brings together young and perspective professionals interested in IT and helps them to attain new knowledge and skills. I was really inspired after this conference and then I focused to finish my studies. On recommendation of Prof. Dr. Kemal Kačapor I got an opportunity for employment in Intesa Sanpaolo Bank. Now I work in the Bank on informational security sector. I am much honored to work with our director and colleagues in this project. They give me support and encourage me.»

«My day is very busy and highly organized. I sometimes got tired, sometimes. It depends from the tasks. However, the most important to me is that I leave for work and come back from it with a smile. Afterwards, I go on activities for personal development such as foreign language course, volunteering in NGOs, spending time with perspective young people, visiting psychologist etc. Also, I spend my free time to write business projects and to develop software solutions which gives me fulfillment and brings my dreams in realization.

Autobiographies, such as Steve Jobs’s, are his favorite literature:
«To solve certain problem and obstacle that I face with in my life I find a help in reading literature such as strategic management, leadership of human resources. They describe solutions in picturesque way. I want to emphasize that most of books I have read are autobiographies. I take a message and ways for a solution from them. I am really thrilled when I read about Steve Jobs.”

«Firstly, I’d like youth to set vision and goals before themselves about WHAT do they want to achieve on personal and business plan. Once they know it and they start to listen it by heart, and in the meantime they follow the plane – success is guaranteed. »
