“As someone who never went to college, being invited to Cambridge University and speaking with the students was nothing short of a dream… I was surrounded by bright 20 year olds who firmly shook my hands and introduced themselves with a big smile… I remember when I was their age, I was a little awkward and shy… never felt presentable enough and spoke tooti footi english. Looking at their confidence made me very inspired,” he tweeted. In the next few lines, he spoke about his conversation with the students about his business ventures.
