See I did it once again!
Saturday morning, beautiful sunlight on the front yard at my parent’s place warming up the place as well as the heart. I planned to study, yes, solve some quantitative aptitude problems. The Quants has been giving me a lot of problems during my B school admission tests. By the side was lying the latest issue of Harvard Business Review.
Contrary to the plan, impulsively I put all my energy in understanding the HBR concepts. My goodness! Spent three whole hours reading the magazine and the quant thing all squandered.
In B-school lingo there are two categories of guys, one Poet and other Shark. The concept of Poet and Shark is very well illustrated by Vijay a former ISBian here.
My thoughts tell me: I am some steps behind being a poet but miles away from being a shark. I just wonder how I can be nearer to if not a shark. May be the only way is, to think in numbers, spend more time with quant problems not listening to some stupid debate in news channels.
But on a serious note I’ll plan this weekend, my coming month, in terms of my reading habits and my date with quant problems. Meticulous planning is to be done, with proper inputs from dad or may be some dialogues from mom, and then the time table for execution of the plan. Before all these things will do a bit of soul searching.
And so my Saturday is gone without a date (with Quant of courseJ).
