“IF YOU DON’T give up, you can’t be beaten.”

That’s just one bit of advice that we got from the Nissan Generation Next ambassadors when we met with them last week to find out their secrets for success.

It’s been long and hard month for those who reached the finale of the Nissan Generation Next ambassador programme – but it’s all been worth it.

These young people were picked from a huge selection of entrants and all have the drive and determination to make a difference in their communities (and even worldwide) with their businesses, ideas and innovations.

Check out the video and have your notebooks at the ready.
