Many a time in life we spend an enormous amount of time and energy trying to fit in somewhere, we never aimed. I will not lie, but my stagnant career was the unpleasant repercussion of this very fact.
And that is when I hit that moment, two years back, when I asked myself, ‘what am I even doing in life?’
Knowing what you want in life is all great, but what’s important is, how do you drive yourself to actually do it. There was always a lot of work to do, another email to send, yet another deadline to meet and many unexpected deliveries upsetting the plan to pursue my aim, but I chose to plunge into doing what I desired.
And I am so glad today that having completed one year of MBA I have now developed a lens to share my MBA experience through it.
Giving serious attention and introspection to the most prevalent question - '
Should I pursue an MBA?' or
'Is an MBA worth doing?', that many student and professional encounter, I think the fact that I am not the same person I was(
Positively) a year back, is where the answer lies.
The intense training in MBA allows you to create a difference you want to make, be it in terms of
personal or professional development. And you can very well feel it when you find yourself start enjoying your work as a responsibility, when deadlines are no more a headache for you and when you absorb every other skill to have a successful career ahead.
Besides, you also instill the quality of evaluating business issues. Through all the plenty of cases you read while in MBA, you learn to answer ‘What will you do?’. You step in the shoes of a protagonist,
think like a Leader, go in-depth, make intense discussion with peers and emerge out with a viable solution to the problem statement. Because that’s the most authentic approach that shape you in a better way to lead not only in any organization but anywhere and everywhere in your life.
MBA offers you a chance to appreciate the
diversity of students and faculties in terms of their background, experience, knowledge, viewpoint, and culture, so you rotate yourself to assess things from their standpoint, and that’s the leadership lesson that comes not from the course pack but your fellow mates.
MBA stimulates competitive culture, which coins to be cooperative as well as competitive at the same time and helps you make many
valuable connections from every walk of the life, with whom you would want to be in touch for any business advice, information, knowledge, and opportunity.
To encapsulate the whole,
MBA is a hub where you glean the knowledge from your two years of learning dipped in real corporate challenges, from a diverse lot of people with a plethora of different talent that transforms you not just professionally but personally as well and where not only you learn to be a leader but actually practice it.
Now the question for you is,
Do you want to invest in yourself to discover your real potential?
Do you want to absorb people’s different ideology?
Do you want to welcome connections from all around?
And lastly but most importantly,
Do you want to bloom like a Leader?
If you find yourself answering YES to these questions, probably you should now take a shot and pursue an MBA.
Trust me it's worth doing!
