What the Heck..Send your Secretary for MBA..or YOU..?

I had a conversation with one of the MBA students who was then decided to make a come back, to continue his study after years of working. Confidently, he told me he is 40 years old this year, and decided to study again for the sake of his future. I am impressed that his willingness to study, most importantly, he has a direction in life. Very often, I met up with MBA students who seem to take their life easy. And, worse still, the “last-minute culture” not just prevails among undergraduate students; I have seen MBA students whining in front of the lecturer, begging for an extension of date for their assignment! MBA is supposed to be an adult learning program, which require to study and ponder like an adult (which you already are!). Self-conscious and time management are very important because you can not expect lecturer to spoon-feed you anymore, not at the age of 40! You will find it the world most ridiculous joke if I were to tell you that a managing director even send his secretary to attend the MBA class, to help taking note! However, the policy did not clearly spill out that students can not send representatives to take note though; perhaps university might need to take this into consideration. The lesson today is, never practice “last-minute-culture” and adopts spoon-feeding style in your learning process because it will bring you nothing, but only manifest your inability to manage your life properly.
