I'm glad I saved some money & went travelling when I was younger. I lived in Bangkok for 9 months & saw & did so many amazing things. I wish that I could have travelled more! If you get the opportunity to go travelling, do it! #since1948 #70years ow.ly/F36l50jNNHr

I am glad I started my professional career as an undergraduate accountant while still studying at uni. Practical learning is as important as studying the theories. It gave me a great head start and I learned very early on, that I love what I do! #since1948 ow.ly/uNIC50jNNBV

I never liked maths at school, but I had a knack for numbers. I started thinking about my career early on- I wanted to be independent & provided me with flexibility & stability. It turns out accounting ticked a lot of boxes for me & I really enjoy my job! ow.ly/WGwi50jNMq6

Jono: I’m glad I wore my ironed shirt of the week for this photo. Kurt: I wish I had kept my eyes open for the photo. Michael: I wish I sat in better lighting for my pale office worker face. Individually we may be flawed but together we aren't bad! ow.ly/ZlbC50jNMhD

Growing up, our dinner table conversations were about my family's printing business. I am grateful to have had that upbringing, because now I have a passion for SME's and I can relate to and understand our SME clients. #since1948 #70years #thinkingahead ow.ly/7lZX50jNM6p

When I was 12 years old, I moved with my mum & brother from England to Australia. It was hard leaving my family & friends & starting school again. But in the end, it turned out well & now I have the best of both worlds - here & there! #since1948 #70years ow.ly/HXfH50jNKmK

At uni, I wish I had the opportunity for practical experience in HR. HR has evolved past policies, procedures & hiring & firing & is now about strategic execution & people development. As a recruiter - I tell everyone to get work experience if you can! bentleys.com.au/since-1948

I spend majority of my time thinking about the future. I'm always thinking ahead, preparing & planning- this has worked well for me so far. Sometimes, you need to not think ahead and be in the present. Nothing more powerful than being in the here & now. ow.ly/R7RQ50jNKla

When the stock market was down in 2016 I was able to acquire a few shares in some mining companies. The stock market is always risky to invest in, but sometimes a risk can be rewarding. ow.ly/B0c650jNNIy

I'm glad I focussed on always enjoying my job. It's important to have fun at work & enjoy what you do. Sounds obvious- but tough to achieve at times. It's about being surrounded by great people. You can choose who you surround yourself with, even at work. bentleys.com.au/since-1948
