The family is very important for me.

2080
00:18
And I want to,
1
18020
1380
00:19
to keep that always in my mind
2
19400
1920
00:21
- in my head.
3
21320
2480
00:25
I live in Plaisir,
4
25640
1700
00:27
a small city close to Paris.
5
27340
2500
00:29
I live with my wife, my daughter
6
29840
4210
00:34
and my son.
7
34050
1530
00:39
I'm a marketer,
8
39040
960
00:40
and I love my job
9
40000
960
00:40
because every day
10
40960
1340
00:42
I discover a new field.
11
42300
2240
00:44
It's an innovative job,
12
44540
1840
00:46
and I enjoy my job.
13
46380
1460
00:50
I play badminton
14
50350
1150
00:51
twice a week.
15
51500
1480
00:52
It's a new sport for me,
16
52980
1380
00:54
but I enjoy this sport.
17
54360
2680
00:57
It's not only in the competition
18
57040
2880
00:59
you know, it's just friendly atmosphere
19
59920
2280
01:02
and I like that.
20
62200
1220
01:03
Probably I will be
21
63420
1580
01:05
the next president of the club.
22
65000
2520
01:07
I want to –
23
67520
1700
01:09
to improve the thing
24
69220
2500
01:11
every day in my private life
25
71720
2420
01:14
and in my pro life.
26
74140
2000
01:16
If I could improve
27
76140
2010
01:18
the thing, I do it.
28
78150
1970
01:23
I've been studying
29
83140
2840
01:25
since seven months.
30
85980
2220
01:28
I've chosen
31
88200
940
01:29
an MBA program because
32
89140
1460
01:30
I want to understand
33
90600
1940
01:32
the world.
34
92540
1160
01:33
The world is changing a lot.
35
93700
1340
01:36
One of my main purpose
36
96260
2220
01:38
was to have international
37
98480
1620
01:40
accreditation.
38
100110
970
01:41
It was very important to
39
101080
1540
01:42
have a European organisation as well.
40
102620
2620
01:45
To find my MBA programme
41
105240
2180
01:47
I search two words:
42
107420
2240
01:49
'MBA' and 'distance learning'.
43
109660
2980
01:52
I like this
44
112640
1470
01:54
MBA program because
45
114110
1270
01:55
lots of people
46
115380
1440
01:56
come all over the world.
47
116820
1480
01:58
We are very far but very close,
48
118300
2700
02:01
thanks to distance learning,
49
121000
1820
02:02
and it’s very nice to,
50
122820
1520
02:04
to chat with these people.
51
124340
3160
02:07
I'm not a native person,
52
127500
1880
02:09
English person so I say
53
129380
2200
02:11
"What about my English?" but
54
131580
2220
02:13
thanks to internet
55
133800
1140
02:14
you know you have
56
134940
1380
02:16
lots of tools, translation and so on.
57
136320
2360
02:18
It can do many many things
58
138680
2700
02:21
The main difference between
59
141380
2040
02:23
distance learning and
60
143420
1560
02:24
classroom is the price –
61
144980
1600
02:26
it’s cheaper,
62
146580
2520
02:29
it’s very very cheaper than
63
149100
2340
02:31
the classroom solution.
64
151440
3120
02:34
The advantage of
65
154560
1180
02:35
the distance learning,
66
155740
1620
02:37
I think it's:
67
157360
1980
02:39
I see three advantages.
68
159340
1860
02:41
First of all,
69
161200
1100
02:42
it avoids geographical distance.
70
162300
3880
02:46
Secondly, we can work autonomously
71
166180
3060
02:49
and independently:
72
169240
1130
02:50
it's very important.
73
170370
1970
02:52
And finally,
74
172340
1280
02:53
we can work
75
173620
1080
02:54
when we want,
76
174700
1360
02:56
where we want
77
176060
1420
02:57
and it's the best
78
177480
1210
02:58
thing I suppose for,
79
178690
1850
03:00
for me and for
80
180540
1600
03:02
lots of students.
81
182140
1940
03:04
Every six weeks
82
184080
1040
03:05
I have to submit
83
185120
1220
03:06
an assignment.
84
186340
1540
03:07
And I submit for example,
85
187880
3100
03:10
an essay, figures,
86
190980
3260
03:14
and finance –
87
194240
1300
03:15
it depends on the subject.
88
195540
2260
03:17
At the beginning it was
89
197800
1900
03:19
a little bit hard.
90
199700
1060
03:20
But thanks to my tutor,
91
200800
3700
03:24
I feel better.
92
204500
2320
03:26
During three years,
93
206820
1560
03:28
I'm sure I change at the end
94
208380
2620
03:31
of the MBA.
95
211000
1085
03:32
I see the world differently
96
212085
2755
03:34
than before.
97
214840
1820
03:36
In fact, it's very important
98
216660
2080
03:38
to show to my children
99
218740
1560
03:40
that you don't study
100
220300
2080
03:42
just one time,
101
222380
1500
03:43
but you study
102
223880
1260
03:45
during all your life,
103
225140
1860
03:47
and my son ask me,
104
227000
1620
03:48
"Why do you study again?"
105
228620
1940
03:50
I said "Because the world is
106
230560
1680
03:52
like that now.
107
232240
928
03:53
If you want to
108
233168
952
03:54
progress in your career, you
109
234120
1900
03:56
have to study again and again."
110
236020
2900
04:09
Go the distance.
