Life as MBA student

Pursuing MBA has changed my life forever and I am convinced after two years I will be a different person. The struggle has begun. Everyday is a struggle. Shuttling between college life and household chores, I am having a tough time managing my relationship and career. Recently I got a chance to meet people from other management institutes and I got to know people have such beautiful minds. The basic difference between doers and complainers is that, when doers see a problem, they will not accept no as an answer. They will find all possible alternatives to solve any problem, even if it involves climbing an Everest. On the other hand the complainers will crib about all the problems, infact they will find new problems to complain about. I want to be a doer, I want to be the giver.

     There are times when I am overpowered by guilt. I feel guilty for not able to devote enough time to my family. My son waits eagerly for the rare weekends that we spend together. My husband needs my time, attention and care, which I am not able to give him. People tell me it is just a matter of two years, but surviving these two years is a challenge for me.

     I want to excel in studies and be a perfect homemaker, but how is it possible? or is it possible? I don't know. I am paranoid, what if in a bid to achieve success, I lose the people I love. I wish I could devote more time to studies as well as my family. I have high expectations from myself and my family has too. Let us see what life brings on. I will wait for it. 

    I see students in my college have so much time in life, they are surrounded with opportunities and have all the facilities which if used properly, will take them to higher levels in life. But they do not fail to realize it, they simply waste their energy and time in useless things like partying around, uploading tiktok videos and what not, except studies. I feel sorry for their future. I wonder what are they going to give to the society? Simply wasting away each day of life. 

   Only if you could see and understand, there are so many things you can learn from, there are so many opportunities around you, only if you had the courage to knock at their doors. But only a few will understand the value of time. I may sound like a preacher, but only time will tell if i am right or not.  

First day at MBA

I never thought I would ever again switch to blogging because with work pressure and busy family life I had almost made up mind to quit blogging. But here I am. I wasn't able to stop myself from sharing my first day experience at the MBA college.
After seven years of gap I was again back on the campus to learn and unlearn. All other students were younger to me, less experienced and also less educated than me. Baring a few, almost all of them were feshers, who simply wanted to do MBA for the sake of placement.
Initially, I had also joined MBA with a perspective of getting a well paid job, but the curriculum here changed my mindset.
MBA is not about mugging up your textbooks and scoring good grades in exams, it is how aptly you manage yourself, your life, your office and your surroundings.
Doing an MBA will change your outlook towards your colleagues (whom you see as your competition), you will learn teamwork and how important it is to work smart, not hard. MBA is an opportunity to learn how to be a good manager and a good leader.
Every person who wish to become a leader or good manager in life must do an MBA from a premium institute like mine.
After all, "You don't need to have the best men in your team to succeed, you just need to have right people around you" as said by Jack Maa.
