Day 2 –
Tuesday
Today we had
no meeting with Stuart………Yeahhhhhhh….that means no school today. My smiles were
quickly swept away as I thought of the amount of work I need to catch up
on. As result of cake and the tests that
took place during the course of last week, I fell behind on most my readings which
means I wasn’t getting full value from the lectures I was attending as I was
unfamiliar with the topic discussed. So I have to drag myself out of bed and
head to school….
On that note
I would just like to share my opinion about lecture attendance, as an undergrad
I barely ever saw the need to attend lectures, being young a naïve was the main
cause of that. I would rather take a day off to nurse a hangover or spend it
watching movies with friends. All this led me to have an enormous amount of
work to catch up with before exams. This as you can imagine led to long nights
in the library a huge amount of caffeine and hardly any sleep. This is never a
good thing as one cannot function effectively with a tired body. Same way as a
bank manager would never approve a loan on a Friday afternoon as he is unable
to make an objective decision due to fatigue suffered during the week and is
mostly likely to overlook important information in the rush to get home. It
goes to say that as business person you cannot function and effectively if you
are not well rested. Same for a student, you would not be able to an engage
with the content being presented to you. This brings me to my lesson for the day.
During the
course of this program I have decided to attend all lectures and workshops, as
hard as it is been, I have found that it has made my studying a whole easier,
as I would have gotten an understanding on the depth I have to get into in
order to grasp the material being taught, I have found that it enables one to
ask any question that may rise and clarify any misunderstanding. Trust me it’s
an awful feeling struggling with a concept at two in the morning before your
final exam. It just leads to further confusion.
An experience I have been through
once too often. However this can only happen if one takes time to familiarise
themselves with the material before going to the lecture. So my advice to any
budding entrepreneur, take each lecture as a new learning opportunity and do
your best to amass as much knowledge as possible. At the end of the day you pay
a lot of money for this opportunity, so it only makes sense to make the best of
it.
This
approach has been working for me as late and hope to stay on the same track for
the remainder of the program. Id likes to share a quote that I ran across in
some shop in town.
“Customer service is like making love
to a Gorilla, you don’t stop till the Gorilla is satisfied”

This is the
approach I’d like to take to acquiring knowledge, and remix it to suit my
intentions, you dint stop till the mind is satisfied.
