those key elements they can make us more

those key elements they can make us more creative and more innovative I’d like to

creative and more innovative I’d like to

creative and more innovative I’d like to introduce three key elements the first

introduce three key elements the first

introduce three key elements the first one is called freedom of learning the

one is called freedom of learning the

our aerospace industry it can happen to all of you feel all of your industries

all of you feel all of your industries

all of you feel all of your industries engineering and engineering it doesn’t

engineering and engineering it doesn’t

engineering and engineering it doesn’t matter

finally I would like to let everyone

finally I would like to let everyone know it doesn’t matter you have advanced

know it doesn’t matter you have advanced

know it doesn’t matter you have advanced degree or not we all have one thing in
