SmarterU Challenge: International Business

"I have never been in any country where they did not do something better than we do it, think some thoughts better than we think, catch some inspiration from heights above our own."

Today's SmarterU Challenge is linked to Monday's Spiritual Challenge...Several college students were shoveling drive-ways to raise funds for their mission trip to Uruguay.  It was interesting to hear about the country and on Monday we were supposed to spend time praying for missionaries, mission teams and countries to be reached for Christ.

I realized I didn't really know much about smaller countries--their government, beliefs, etc. To truly be successful and smarter we need to have a working knowledge of the life outside the US.  It will help us in business, cultural differences, and can give offer an edge in communicating with others.

Today's Challenge:  The country you prayed for on Monday--or if you are joining us today--choose a country and Google it....Spend a 15-20 minutes researching the country.  Make learning about the International World your business.

Not only will it help you to be SmarterU but a more CulturalU!

Challenge Issued!
