Did we check on our own honesty?

On the scale of 10 how much would you like to give score to yourself? Be alarmed either it can be zero or ten because you can’t say that you are this much honest and that much you aren’t. So either you are honest or not honest on your own parameters.

Positive feelings come from being honest about yourself and accepting your personality, and physical characteristics.

One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.

Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.

Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair; the rest is in the hands of God.

Set a Goal for you

Success is steady progress toward one's personal goals. Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible. A winner is someone who recognizes his God-given talents, works his tail off to develop them into skills, and uses these skills to accomplish his goals.

Crystallize your goals. Make a plan for achieving them and set yourself a deadline. Then, with supreme confidence, determination and disregard for obstacles and other people's criticisms carry out your plan.
Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success.

Those of you who wish to go for MBA , it is right time to set the goal and start giving shape to it with execution plan.

Management education teaches you to be analytical

In simple terms management education teaches you to simply complex situations.

"Never regard your study as a duty, but as the enviable opportunity to learn to know the liberating influence of beauty in the realm of the spirit for your own personal joy and to the profit of the community to which your later work belongs." aptly said Albert Einstein.

Management education keeps you going with thoughts like, if you are planning for a year, sow rice; if you are planning for a decade, plant trees; if you are planning for a lifetime, educate people
.
The essence of management education is that it is not the strongest of the species that survives, or the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.

Adaptability is outcome of management education an even if you can be appointed a manager, but you are not a leader until your appointment is ratified in the hearts and minds of those who work with you hence, leadership skills is total sum of management  education.

Hope is universal to mankind

I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe.  Says, Dalai Lama.

But on the contrary Youth is easily deceived because it is quick to hope.  This is what Aristotle  envisaged.
Dilemma is that we all hope to do our best and sometimes we do hope against hope to happen the ordeal in our way particularly in exams.

Indeed all humans think alike and we continue to hope in our worst circumstances too. And why not; this is what we get through our morning prayers too.

Let’s pause for a while and think a bit differently as we are supposedly future managers of a company as MBA students.   Hope can be converted to an end result of a hard work, planning and execution to the excellent finesse!
