ummmm...I'm considering an MBA..but that'll have to be after I get done with my masters in my technical field (engineering). I've worked with engineers who got their MBAs thinking they'll get to be ahead of the line in terms of promotions and such...well, it turns out that too many damned people are getting themselves MBAs for the degree to matter much...unless, of course, you got it from one of the 'prestigious institutions' such as HBS, Stanford, Rice, Kellogg, or internationally....Fontainbleau, Indian school of biz (the newest hottie on the block), Oxford, etc... Personally, I'm dreading my technical masters...it's a tough cookie to crack! lmao and I too work full time... where are you doing your MBA from, if I may ask? I got a wonderful e-mail forward just yesterday that is just right to help you get moving again! :) Check it out.... Is Life Like a Marathon or A Sprint So what do you think that life is more like, a marathon or a sprint? Dieting - a lot of people diet in sprints for two, three, or four days and they quit. Don't quit the marathon! Maintain the course! A lot of people go to college like a sprint-they stay for one, two or three years. At a four year college, only 38% of people who start college finish in four years. Somewhere in the marathon you hit the wall and you have no reserves and feel like it's over. It is more psychological than physiological and you keep on keeping on! Zoe Koplowitz who has cerebral palsy-- she completed the marathon--29 Hours and 45 minutes. She does it every year and she wrote a book called Lessons In Last Place. She is one of the world's most famous marathon runners and she always ends up in last place. Sort of like if you graduate last in your class from Harvard Medical School-you know what they call you, a doctor. If you finish last in your class at law school-you know what they call you, a lawyer. So the whole thing is to finish, see the big picture and not the small one. Don't burn all of your reserves in the sprint because its a marathon and all you have to do is keep on keeping on. It's not how quick you finish, it is if you finish! This is true of the marathon and everything else in life! Are you going to finish?
