The critical theme I learned from MBA

The time is nearly the end of my MBA life.

As we read from books, magazine or newspaper before, MBA seems a great route toward a successful life. If you have good working experiences, a great degree can enhance the value of your career. Ideally, it can help you in a certain extent.

However, most of us are ordinary persons, and our life can't be changed easily through a degree. Your career actually depends on your past experience, professional ability, your faith, efforts and some luck.

Before I went to UK, I have read the article addressed by Steve Jobs who had a speech in Stanford U in 2005; and after I study abroad, I have more deeply thought about his stories.

This paragraph below is my favorite part,

"Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle."

I always struggle with dream and reality.
Honestly speaking, I am not the person who should enter the business world.
But I am here, in order to test my possibility.

I am too greedy to gain more in this challenging world.
But actually I have to focus on what I really want, and then I can accumulate energy and ability.

The critical theme I learned from MBA is: Reality is cruel.
All we can do is listen to your heart, and pursue your goal bravely.
Don't fear about failure; a loss may turn out to be a gain.
As Jobs' said: Stay hungry. Stay foolish.
