    This is the last blog. Unlike Randy Pausch’s [he has since died] Last Lecture, I don’t have great thoughts to share. I do believe this:

    Live on the edge; go without fear and do some fun and crazy stuff in and with your life. If you ever find yourself bored, have the balls to run, not walk away, and change. That’s what Corpus Christi and sailing is all about.  Make your own luck. And don’t forget to think different.  Every day, smile and laugh; don’t take yourself too seriously. As a start, enjoy the BMW ad below. Hank

    1. What a great BMW ad to end the year on! And thanks for a great year Hank. Though sometimes it seemed like a rush to get our projects and assignments accomplished, it was a great year. Thanks for all of your help and support. Have a great time in Corpus Christi!

    2. Thanks for a good semester Hank! Enjoy Corpus Christi and your sailing!

    3. It has been a great semester! I have embraced the concept of “living on the edge” and have found that you must do something that you love, do it well and you can make a lot of money.

      This class has taught me to embrace your different thinking, and be positive. I often smile and laugh because I don’t take this experience too seriously. I’m try to discover the best market for myself and that is in management and hopefully into a successful entrepreneur.

      Thanks for a great class!

      Thanks for a great semester. The main thing that ENTR200 has really left me with is you have to be 10 times better. It’s not enough to just be as good as someone else or just a little above them. Always being 10 times better is a great goal to have for anything in life.

    5. What a great semester Hank, I learned so much! I also enjoy your BMW ad very much!

    6. I agree. This class has been a great experience, expanded my knowledge of entrepreneurship and gave me the opportunity to meet some great people with similar interests and goals.

      I am planning on continuing on with ENTR 201 next semester and have the eventual goal of earning the Cert. in Entrepreneurship.

      Thanks Hank!

    7. Thank you for a great semester Hank! Enjoy sailing in Corpus Christi. Thank you also for the inspirational words. I just am wondering what the ad has to do with message….

    8. Thanks for a awesome semester. I had a great time in your class Hank. I hope Corpus Christi is amazing

    9. Carpe Diem Hank

      Thanks for everything.

      ps. great ad

    20. Thanks Hank. You really helped me get used to thinking like an entrepreneur. You encouraged us to get creative, think of new ideas, and taught us how important it is to grab the bull by the horns. Your’e a badass

      I like the advertisement. There’s nothing wrong with something being a little broken in as long as it still works lol. Have fun in Corpus Christi

    21. Anthony Sikorski

      Thanks for a great semester and have fun in Texas.

    22. Awesome ad. I love BMW and you dont need to much of a marketing team to sell a high quality vehicle like BMW.
      Thanks Hank for the great semester. Stay warm and kick up your feet.peace

    23. Great words of wisdom Hank. This certainly hasn’t been the easiest class to get through, but I have to say I’ve learned a lot about entrepreneurship and myself, both my strengths and my weaknesses. Thank you for everything Hank, and enjoy Corpus Cristi!

    24. Hank thank you for being such a wonderful mentor. I will be taking back some great memories from this class. I hope you have many happy and fulfilling days in Corpus C. You will be missed.

    25. Kamran Malhance

      Hank I really appreciate everything you have done for us. This has been the most useful and practical class that I have taken at Purdue thus far. Thank you again!!! :)

      I’m very tempted to spam the hell out of this blog just to ensure my 45 entries lol

      Hank your the man and I really had a great semester. This class really opened up my horizons and I definately gave you positive feedback on the course evaluation form. You really gave me a much better understanding of the world of entrepreneurship and what it has to offer. You gave me the knowledge I need to tackle my future and this BMW ad is awesome. Thanks for a great class and I wish you the best.

    28. Austin Collins

      Great Ad and I have enjoyed your class very much. Have a great time at your new house if you decide on buying the property.

    29. Thank you so much Hank. I have learned so much in this class. Its been a great experience. Now my aim is to “stay hungry, stay foolish”. Enjoy your boat and the house. :)

    30. I really like this ad. It has been a wonderful semester. Thank you Hank!

    31. Thanks for everything Hank. Take it easy down there. See you later.

    33. This semester has been an blast, I remeember when I first came in I thought I wasn’t going to handle but it turned out wonderful after all, Thanks Hank you thought me some vital information.

    34. Nice BMW ad. It was an awesome semester with you Hank. Wish you were teaching Entr 201 also. Thanks for everything.

    35. Michael Eargle

    36. I learned a lot and i am looking forward to future entrepreneurship classes. Thanks for everything Hank!

    37. Hey Hank, just had to end the year with a BMW ad hah. Hope you have a great time relaxing in Corpus Cristi. Don’t get lost at Sea!

    38. Taylor Gelsosomo

      By far the best class I have taken! Really wish you taught ENTR 201! This class definitely taught me how to think differently about life in general. Thanks for a great semester! Enjoy sailing!

    39. ENTR 200 was definitely a fun class to take. I enjoyed all the technology that was integrated into the course and daily discussions and also that we continuously practiced public speaking, and pitching and presenting companies. I have a different perspective and approach to how I deal with all things involving money and business (which is basically everything, I think?). Bottom line I really enjoyed the class, and I learned quite a bit too. Enjoy Corpus Christi, sailing, and whatever else life throws your way Hank. Thanks!

    40. Hey hank, I was just reading your blog today and found that this is last one… I hope you have great life ahead and thanks for giving me a great start in my college life in my Freshmen year.

    41. We’re back up!
