Today 18th Nov ,2007 for me its a normal day ,but not for those 2.5 lakhs Indians who are taking their CAT Exam , The Most Prestigious exam in India. Morning I droped my gf to her test center , while coming back i was thinking why the hell i am returning ?? I too could have appeared in this marathon to test my skills to be an entrepreneur.. But why? Do i really need this 2 n haf hr test to prove my credibilty and then to spend 2 years in a B-School and learn management skills. Then join some big MNC who will pay me a hafty sum and after some point of time i will be happy with all those money and my family…
The big Q is here what i want from life.. Frankly speaking its not just the MBA from B-School. I have seen my friends doing MBA from so called gr8 B-School but still i dindnt find any change in their mentality except using some jargons like “entrepreneur” , team work” ,”staff subordination” etc etc… Also i saked my friends so many times why u guys opted for MBA.. the answer was its the simplest shortcut in the life to earn money. I got scared after listening this as it shows waht type of manager i am gonna get if i will be working as engg grad…
What i feel is surely these B-School will be an add on advantage on ur personal exposure but not in 100% . If u lack the skills of cherishing the dream of becoming a entrepreneur in long spree surely u must restrict urself now only.
So i have decided not to go with the crowd… i must feel from inside ya i am capable of becoming a manager who can take such decision on behalf of his/her staff ,oraganisation or community so that all will appreciate his skill…
i have seen people with gr8 business aspirations and having superb ideas but are still in ambiguty wheather they are capable of cracking the nuts or not as they are not MBA grads… Sometimes i feel bad about it…
At this point of time , all my well wishers wanted me to do management . But i dont… i wanna fly high … and my turn will come someday…till then the same show will go on……..
