MBA programs are underwritten by large companies and they succeed at producing future employees of large companies. In that regard, they are doing exactly what they are supposed to be doing.

I grew up in a modern business environment and did not experience the kind of prejudice that my mother and grandfather experienced.

However, there's nothing more inspiring than a company that does solve problems and those problems are captured as part of a larger story.

When done right, working is a series of decisions that you make which allow you to refine and refine and refine your highest and best use. Ultimately, if you are lucky, you will find out where you belong.

One of the easiest ways to solve your problems is to look at how others have solved a similar problem. So, in this regard, we are using the same thinking of others.

Thinking like others is ok for things that are not important to you.

When I started out, I wanted to have everything solved by the time I was 30. That didn't happen. Instead, I realized that the journey is the destination, that the work.
