Therefore, I studied much harder than other friends and often stayed up all night working as a young furniture businessman." President Joko Widodo went on to say, "It is important to learn not just from the classes at school, but from your experiences in life," advising, "I ask that you 'listen carefully' to what others around you tell you, including family members and friends, and build broad experiences during vacations or holidays." He stated that he tries to find solutions on the scene at work because he can understand the difficulties people have while talking with them, which helps him to come up with solutions. When asked for advice from a young businessman seeking to enter Indonesia, President Joko Widodo said, "Recent economic reforms have considerably streamlined the procedures for foreign companies to invest in Indonesia," adding, "I will give you my phone number and call me if you find responses from related institutions inadequate."
