Working along the path of excellence is laced with challenges and exciting moments alike. You seem to be getting along so well at one point in time and at other moments, it just seems like you are merely playing catch up. I have heard people express their feelings when frustrated at negative events and lament as though they have never experienced upward positive moments in the past. And whenever life’s issues rise up, the hope of a brighter future seems not to appear in sight.
Some salient questions
Have you wondered why in the world, many people set out in the morning, get to work and stay at it for long hours, and in some cases close very late after being spent completely and exhausted? And you would expect that these set of people should be living happy lives, enjoying the fastest of wages. Apparently, life does not reward in the obvious form. Life they say presents you with what you invest, hence people in the bid to get more out of life invest their time in jobs that promise them wages all day.
You need to learn the difference between hard work and real work. Is it bad to work hard, of course, no? The purpose of this blog post is to discuss why so many people do a lot of jobs but very few people attain excellence and enjoy a quality of life. The question in mind is how do we truly invest our time in things that matter most?
My Learning Experience at LBS from Colleagues
I am in my first semester of the Executive MBA program at LBS and I have been opportune to share class with great achievers in several endeavors of life. Studying men that have achieved success in their careers and financial life helps me to learn a lot especially now that I am privileged to speak with them at close range. I soon realized that they are human beings just like everyone else. In fact, they don’t usually think highly of themselves as people do for them.
What distinguishes men of substance from other average persons or mediocrity is their knack for getting things done in the most efficient and effective manner. Men of success keep doing it right and well in every situation or circumstance whether it looks convenient or not. They have set a goal and the only achievement of that purpose is the option they permit in their minds.
Academic Achievement
Successful people, as they walk their way to the top, do so in all spheres of life including in academics. LBS implements a very strict admission process for their MBA intakes and as a result, you only find people who have attained great success in their career and academic lives enrolling for the course. This is in turn put to the further test by the extensive curriculum of the school which is designed to stretch the minds of the enrolled executives and prepare them to solve simple to complex business challenges that they might face in the near future.
