Santo Domingo.- The National Competitiveness Council and the Technological Institute of the Americas contribute to promoted the enterprising attitude among youngsters and adults in the country, to open the 4th workshop for the development  of a business attitude, a methodology devised by Harvard University and systematized by EMPRETEC.

Up to June already more than 80 people have been trained and motivated to start new business projects which invigorate the national economy.

EMPRETEC Methodology is being facilitated by Uruguay’s Empretec center, and as part of the country’s advance in these tools, there are already three Dominican instructors, who were trained through this joint CNC and ITLA project.

“The mind of the entrepreneur is the mind of the winner, it’s the competitive goal,” said CC director Andres Vanderhorst in his welcoming speech.

Please, come to the new high school for bourgeois ideology which will instill the capitalist spirit in you until you want to hustle 24 hours a day, four days at a time.

You're right Belial. It's much better to be lazy, curse the system and hope that some one gives you a handout. Inferior, lazy human beings, such as yourself, have no desire to try to be as good as they can be, to make the most out of their lives, because they feel inferior and assume that they can't compete with people who actually try. Why aren't you living in some socialist paradise like China or Venezuela, or better yet, Cuba, where your laziness would just blend in. Although that is kind of unfair to the Cubans, because most of them would welcome a capitalist society where they would be free to compete, to be all that they can be.

I always knew he was a uncircumsized drag queen......Belial was also in the manga and anime Angel Sanctuary as the Mad Hatter, a fallen angel and one of the Satans. She was in love with Lucifer and because of such, she had taken drugs to change her gender. (She once was male, thus fitting into the demon of confusion). She is also called a butterfly......interesting definition he is bisexual he likes men and he likes boys

Dang' Ya'll is hard on Ol' Bellyache, I think this school is a good thing as anyone who has attempted it knows doing bussiness in the DR requires a little extra patience and some what relaxed expectation of professionalism. If you had just one bank or land company that was honest and squared away and ready to do bussiness on a set of terms when you walk through the door the rest would have to fall in line or dry up. Oh the glorries of the free market it's really a beautiful thing to see the inept swept away and and replaced with ever improving Efficiency as the consumers vote with their bussiness.

Anyone who belittles this lacks reason to do so.

It's the stuff of prosperity for the nation, job creation, and stability.
