The week of change

Well, I think its a week of change, if I have to put it in the shortest form. I can only hope that this change is a major change and long lasting.

In terms of what happened in the week, we had an OBPPD Session on how one should pursue a career and what brings success (and what is success too). We also had an open feedback session about each other by the end of the week. In terms of OBPPD and the course we also had an individual report submitted during the week. We also had Halloween party which was really enjoyable.

We had the entrepreneurship club meeting started off and we are trying something new from this year (I hope this is not just this year) wherein entrepreneurs can pitch their ideas and ask for feedback from others in the group. Other than these I think everything else was routine.

Now about the change, when I was supposed to talk about the OBPPD session in my team, I started preparing and I was dumbstruck by the level of impact this session could have not only in my life but anyone's life. It dealt with what is success, how to attain success and how to reach your fullest potential in a level of detail that can fit almost everyone, since its generic it does become a bit high level, but I have started thinking in these lines now. I will have to work hard on this, however I think its worth a try at the least.

As many on campus would say, I am going to experiment here, to change my character, to consciously try and reduce my weakness (which is being direct and rude) and focus on my strengths, one statistic says people who focus on their strength succeeded more, but I think being rude puts me out of the game and hence I dont have an option not to work on it. The second thing that I have already started moving out of my priorities is to be the best in what I do (in terms of academics), I think changing from the inside would be needed to be a better leader than learning more stuff.

I need to evaluate ALL the options available in front of me, as to what I can do after the MBA. At this moment I feel that if I allow another few years to roll on before I start chasing my dreams, I will probably end up not chasing it at all. I have started exploring Entrepreneurship and Social Entrepreneurship as real career options immediately after MBA. The various career related sessions arranged in the next week should help me in this regard.

This week I experienced the first change of time (DST) of my life so now officially we are in GMT or UTC. Next weekend we would have our first WAC in EOS. I guess its just about being focussed, let me see, I am looking forward to it.
