“Every day is a challenge”, says Adiel, who is building a standardized computer teaching and learning system that enable students develop technical skills and participate in 21st century innovation. In about three years, Adiel’s business has transformed from a basic teaching module to a complete computer learning system. The hardest parts of being an entrepreneur have been the constant pressure to improve his craft and keeping up with the changing demands of his customers. “Trying to keep up and keep improving is the hardest part. It seems like every year, customers are looking for new things and as an entrepreneur, it's a must to keep up with the phase of improvement.” As an entrepreneur, Adiel says he doesn’t approach work with a business mindset but rather focuses on how he can grow his impact to reach more people locally and worldwide. In order to achieve lasting impact, he is guided by Trust and Respect and counts his attitude to people as an integral part of his mission: “I may want to leave a mark but I want that to be a mark on how I treat people right inside and outside the business.”
