College students should be aware of the risks involved in starting their own businesses, instead of blindly follow the paths of other successful businessmen.

China Youth Daily quotes Dr. Lee Kaifu from Google China as saying that some college students are in a hurry to become rich and they expect to realize this by starting their own businesses.

Compared to those who have clear goals and passion in their work, these students face greater risks.

Lee Kaifu reminds college students that not everyone is suitable for starting a business, since they have different skills, motives and opportunities. They should choose the most proper way for self-development, not just admiring successful business starters, whose experiences can be misleading for others in choosing their own career.

The paper also reports that it is good for students to have an independent mind, but they should know that they are still students and should focus on studying and working hard rather than dreaming wildly.

More than 200,000 college students will graduate next year in Beijing. Many of them want to become their own bosses. It is suggested that these students be patient and have a clear vision of their own abilities and interests.
