5 key points speaker had mentioned during his presentation:

1)In the real world, one must be patient enough to withstand the pressure that clients will give.

2)Use new social media services such as Facebook and Twitter to promote oneself.

3)Being able to meet the deadline of a project given by a client is a valuable asset for designers to own.

4)Start from basic freelance work, then slowly learn your way to the top.

5)Constant self-learning and motivation is a must for every successful designer.

Inspiration:

1)The first would be the guest speaker itself simply because not long ago he was also a student just like myself,and years later he was able to be successful in his field of study.This just shows that dreams can be achieved through constant self-upgrading,motivation,dedication and passion.I truly believe that one can make it big in the real world if he or she can endure and withstand any obstacles that hit them throughout the journey.

2)From his presentation of his company’s portfolio, I can see that much dedication has been put in to create amazing websites for bloggers or businesses alike.It sort of like motivates me to want to learn even more regarding web design and even create my very own complex and professional website.

3)When the guest speaker shared with us his experiences, it had made me realize that school life and the real life “out there” is way different than what we had imagine.Only when we have experienced it ourselves will we truly understand what our parents had gone through to raise us up.All the blood, sweat and tears that had been dropped throughout their whole life just to give meaning to our own lives.

Finally I do think its useful for guest speakers to come to our school to share their experience and expertise because this is the only direct way that we students could communicate to the real world industry out there.To get a feel of what we will be facing in the future when our career path takes place.I am pretty sure that almost all students are completely clueless about the industry and its whole process and how it all operates.
