That\u2019s actually to transform a nation\u2026to encourage people to go beyond self and profits, and think about the impact they\u2019re making internationally. That\u2019s why I said the fast food job is the most important job, in terms of its impact,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Mr Baiden encouraged youth to embrace service, resilience, and productivity, stressing that success is measured by societal impact, not wealth.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s your impact that matters. You can be a billionaire\u2026You can also be an excellent teacher, pastor, or political activist. What counts is the effect you have on society,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He also emphasised holistic education, combining knowledge, character, and mentorship to prepare young people for meaningful contributions.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI use education in a holistic sense. Character, training, values, and the pursuit of enlightenment,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Mr Baiden also urged the youth to pursue goals that prioritize social impact, noting that purpose-driven work makes challenges manageable.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIf you are used to waking up at a certain time and working 14 hours a day, and you are enthused about the work, you don\u2019t feel the pain of it\u2026It\u2019s not just about yourself or profits. It matters in the end game,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>DISCLAIMER: <\/strong>The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCLAIMER: <\/strong>The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myjoyonline.com\/go-beyond-profit-business-must-empower-people-margins-id-group-ceo-urges-youth\/\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Founder and Chief Executive of Margins ID Group, Moses Baiden Jnr, has urged young people to focus on the broader impact they can have on society, not just personal wealth.
