Sad

I am feeling very sad, not at myself, but at others.

It saddens me to know that there are people out there who don’t really care about others.

In my life, I do care about the people around me. I take actions to benefit the greater community, especially when I see that something can be so easily avoided but nothing is done.

It saddens me to see the poor struggling to meet ends meet when the rich are splurging endlessly on luxury goods.

It saddens me to hear the stories of rape, abuse, and neglect. Every human being deserves to be loved.

It saddens me to hear the cries of an abandoned child, born out of the wedlock or abortion. They had a chance to come to this earth to experience its beauty, but to be thrown away before they were given the opportunity.

It saddens me to meet people who are not true to themselves, they have developed a false good personality to conceal their evil one. All they do is to conceal their acts of evil in acts of kindness.

It saddens me to know that people are exploiting Earth for her resources, by drilling into her body. Mother earth is suffering, do you hear her cries? I do, it burns a hole in my heart.

It saddens me to see how people try to fill their emptiness with materialism and superficiality. At the end of the day, they are still empty inside no matter how much they have on the outside.

One day, mother earth tears will wash across the earth in waves, cleansing and purifying everything that is in it. Many of us will be washed by the waves, back into the soil, to be reborn into the new earth. Till then, I will do the best of my ability to protect her.

I love you, everyone of you souls out there.

You are loved.

The Future Business School

by | | Uncategorized

There will not be classes, lectures or teachers.

The fees will be $50 000

This will become capital for the student to start his own business.

It can be anything, from selling dildos to selling cars.

We won’t give a dam.

There will be experienced businessmen and angel investors to guide the students in their business decisions.

There will be a boardroom where students can assemble their own groups of teams to formulate a plan for their business, they can even share their capital to make one lump sum for bigger projects.

At the end of 3 years, they have to break even in their business.

Those who gain profits will be rewarded honours.

Those who managed to break even will be awarded their degrees.

Those who make losses will be asked to do another project again.

This, will be the most realistic business school.

Henry Mintzberg

is the most down to earth professor I ever read across. His concepts are very real, and he is quite blunt with the truth, and I like how he brings across the most realistic things and fans out those hard wired theorists.

I like this quote:

“I have come to suspect that Harvard’s great success may be business’s great failure. In other words, the real danger of the design school may be in providing a seductive model whose superficial “rationality” in the classroom can so easily get promoted into the executive suite.”

“Maybe that is all too true: in formulating detached, easy strategies in case study discussions, later in executive meetings, which are not meant to be implemented, and later cannot be, and in giving all those “whiz kids” a head start down the “fast track.” They can certainly tell a “probable ‘non-starter” from a “winner,”.

Mintzberg, Henry (1996)

Too bad I can’t put that in my assignment, haha.

He makes me think that business school is crappy make believe institution that can emulate what happens in the real world, when in fact it is not! I am glad he invented the term emergent strategies that are not foreseeable in the uncertain future. I don’t think much of what I have learnt in school applies to what I do in my business anyway…
