Googled out!

Technology - Boon or bane was one of the most popular topics of debates and essays back in school.Today, I am in the position to actually back this with examples.

There was not a single day in the last 8 months when we havent said "Google it out!".

I always thought how difficult it would have been for my Uncle to do his MBA in the 80's without the internet.It was the extensive knowledge gathered out of hundreds of books,different libraries,teachers.The process involved a lot of pain but it was reliable.

I just came out of a crisis situation today where the data from the internet googled me out.One of the articles on the net said ".....blah" and I simply (^C & ^V )ed the info,locked my brains in the room and went to give a presentation.Just happened to forget that the panel has people from my Uncle's generation.Oops!

Does that mean I am not gonna use the net and that I am gonna walk to the library to complete my assignments????

Nah....Kutte ki poonch k bare mein suna hai?

Next time will doubly check and be careful and  never forget that a teacher always knows more and thats why he/she is there.

Survival of the ones who ACT fittest

Amidst all the concepts of management,stock market,product promotion,compensation,decision making etc etc a management degree teaches one important lesson for the business of life.It teaches you to understand people.Back in graduation,there was not a single day where you did not live for your friends.Wrote assignments for them,studied together,jumped with joy for good results,cancelled a party coz a friend was sad.Now its different.They say" its a mad world out there" and get a glimpse of it in Business School.I have seen a clear distinction here.Those who have come here only to learn and do it to their best with utmost sincerity.A few who love to have fun and are pure brilliant at everything and some who ACT to know everything and fake a dynamic personality.What amuses me the most is this category.Wonder what they see when they look into the mirror.Coz I think it would be nice to see something original and authentic.

Management lesson (Not by Drucker) - Learn to differentiate among people.Appreciate the hardworking ones,enjoy the company of the "fun " people and don't add on to the fan following of the so-called dynamic personlaities.
