Inspiring quotes from guest lecturers

‘Your generation balances the technical and the physical. You have both manual and digital skills. You are the generation that will no longer be focused on competition, but on ambition, the generation that works together.’ – Herman Konings
‘Everything is possible if you just do what you love and go after your dreams!’ – Bas Lansdorp
‘Learn from your mistakes and believe in yourself; if you do those two things, you will be unstoppable!’ – Alexander Wijninga
