Take away

The journey of MBA which was once my coveted desire is half done.There were many things which I wanted to do and thought of doing it during my MBA.Few of them were wiped out because of things which were not in my control and few I lost control upon.

The learnings are very few and the setbacks are many.

Learning:

  • You  will learn to manage things around you. The assignments at MBA which are intended to teach you the learning gets wiped out after  few weeks.You start managing assignments , and once you start doing it , you don't feel like doing them until the professor is very strict.
  • Google is the best search engine and excel is the best tool .Experiment with them as much as possible.
  • Try gaining interest in one or the other thing, let it be as trivial as playing badminton, squash, cricket, or finance or economics else wise your whole time will be lost in finishing IMDB top 250,Big bang theory or else in alcohol.
  • Try reading magazines and build on reading newspaper.The habit set out of boredom will take you long way.
  • If you are not short of money, go on exchange program.Either you will have great learning or else the best long holiday trip of your life.
  • You start giving your best only when the task of high importance.
Setback :

  • Once you start drinking frequently, there is  a very difficult chance of looking back.
  • You start wasting your time, Its very difficult to come back to hard work phase.
  • You don't care about grades, once you get screwed in few of them.
  • If you are a smoker, you smoke too much hurting your lungs at a faster pace.
  • You talk too much on things and do very little.
  • Topics like politics, entrepreneurship are most common at discussion which ultimately don't lead to anything unless you are very determined to do something of it.
  • The fees at MBA narrows your learning perspective  and restricts it to just placements.
  • you stop reading good books even though you have all the time in the world.
  • You never go to library to check some quality books only because somebody  might mock you for the same
  • You start performing bad on the things which were your strengths at one point of time in your life.

The boy

There was a boy who was passionate towards realizing a few set of goals  he set for himself during his graduation days.He thought of  working on each individual goal one by one and realize them. He was hardworking and decently talented and had good commitment until he entered his graduation.


The story starts with his graduation, he develops good  friends and  few bad habits along with it.He gets intoxicated and intoxication makes his goals seem impossible.He tries hard to get out of it, but as they say in every story, he is not able to get rid of it completely.He tried controlling it a bit and in reward to his some of his efforts, God graced him and he realizes one of his goal.


  He joined his masters and this time he was determined to plan well and reach his goals.He remembers one of his favorite quote by Robin Sharma."Planning to fail is failing to plan". He did try working on few things,putting efforts towards his goals, which will help him in doing things which he wants to do further.But as usual, it was more of a early blow of steam and the boy gets back to his world of intoxication.This time the spell is more intense and it looks difficult for the boy to tread along the right path.The boy believes in his capability, but its his complacency and lack of effort which is contributing to the negative energy around him.They boy curses himself  but is not able to get back to the way he used to put efforts.


The boy has to work hard  and get back to his best and realize the goals he has set for himself.Will the boy be able to make it?


PS: The story relates to  few of my friends and along with it, a lot of guys out there who curse themselves for getting off-track
