Lessons to learn

When waiting for the results of my SAS program, I look through the ft news. An article caught me, "There are lessons to learn from rejection". This is a diary by an MBA.

Having been in school for almost 20 years. I was top at the class. However, I am not very clear what I want to be in the future. For years, I would like to be a teacher, or a professor. So, I kept on pursuing higher degree. However, I decided not to pursue a Ph. D right now. There are several reasons. One is that, I can not get support from my parents mentally. And I don't like to disappoint them since they are the most important persons in the world to me. I'd like to let them retire now. They have been working too hard to support my younger brother and me for a long time. The other one is that I'd like to gather experience from the market. More important, I'd like to try something new. I'd like to know how exactly the industry works. I believe there is gap between academic and industry no matter how wide it is.

It seems that I know what I am going to do. I haven't dug into the topic. However, I am working on it. I believe I 'll become more and more qualified for the job. Keep my eyes on the prize.
