The second lesson is that do not accept or reject anything in its entirety, things are not good or bad in themselves, but only according to the use they are put to. The professors here often teach through the medium of stories, about their personal lives or someone else’s. There is also not much of didactic education, while generally a lecture involves a professor transferring information or knowledge to the students, here, often, the professor is the one who keeps asking questions and the students are required to come up with answers to satiate him; and this role reversal is the most peculiar and refreshing aspect since in real life one will be required to provide answers, especially if one aspires to be in a leadership position.
All in all, what I have learned till now is that there is a lot to learn, I am in a free fall right now and opening my mind like a parachute to all the experiences will make it an enjoyable and smooth adventure and by the time I reach the field I should have an impressive and functional umbrella.
