So I went back and read all the old entries in this blog - also to see if there was nothing too embarrassing to share with my classmates and professor.
And I read my first post, how this blog started... and I realised that
OMG!!!! I GAVE IN TOO!!!!
Now I'm the one off doing an MBA!!!!
The irony of life!
But there are some observations that I need to make. And the most important one is that the reason I had in mind for doing an MBA back then was completely different to the reason that drove to me start this MBA I'm in right now. Too hard to explain but those of you who know me well enough will know what I mean ;-)
Either way I couldn't help but feel a little disappointment when a I realised that all the effort and all the things I did to try to break away from the convention and the vicious circle - lead me right back to it.
Good thing is that I know deep down inside that is not the case. And I did break away. But it's still ironic nevertheless.
Just recently I applied for a summer internship back in the banking world. Hold! I'm not doing it, I'm doing something a lot more exciting!!!! But the fact that I even applied made me realise it's REALLY EASY to fall back into that comfort zone if we don't watch ourselves.
So basically this post is to remind myself that I need to watch out for that. I didn't go through all that I did to go back to where I was. That's an easy temptation and trap to fall into. I need to remember to be strong and resist. Because as I now know, there is a lot more out there to be explored. And if I go back, I'll miss out!
