Grow some spine!!!

Counting days to finishing my time here...so far its been a mixed bag feeling about the place, people and in general how things are here...but today i would like to make some observations about this place...from the very first day that all of us came to an alien environment, we tried to make our lives more comfortable by being extra nice to each other... its expected to b like that but i didn't imagine in my wildest dreams that this nicety would come down on us like a hammer from above...soon it turned that people were more interested in upholding "democratic feeling" in class than doing the right thing which meant to thinking through on any issue..and funny thing was this turned into the benefit of many who manipulated some of this absolute idiots for their benefits and continue to do so..of course these idiots get a feeling of being included in activities not knowing that a mirror of idiocy is being held to their faces which they can't see...when i joined this B school i thought there would be hurdles which will make me a better manager expecting that everyone would be addressing issues in challenging manner...only thing i have seen is everyone wants to keep each other happy and never be able to take a decision without 10 meetings...i am also to blame because initially when i did question, people thought that i was disrupting that harmony of the class, so i moved away..did my own thing n not bother about others. I think its tome i change because by causing disruptions if some of these people can see the big picture, then i have succeeded in my objective...ultimately you do need nerves of steel with titanium reinforcement to be a manager..too much of a feel good must be questioned as its the first sign of something going very wrong...lets hope these disruptions make us better managers...or else most of us are screwed!!

creative juices???....from my nuts

i take this opportunity to quote a dear friend;
"When God decided to account for all idiots, i was too slow to raise my hand".. now that is creativity..juices are flowing..got a bright idea to take on the "rest of the world" or those who raised their hands..since i joined this class every individual has had some "spark" moment to show the rest of us..today i witnessed "yet another one"...to self proclaim creativity n b at its helm is unarguably the dumbest thing possible...just bcuz some people have their faculties in the right places doesn't mean everyone has it..and not everyone goes arnd telling others; "worship me!worship me!"..use ur brains n incase of doubt refer to someone who has shown its correct application..when most activity centres have failed to perform why have yet another one?? and if u think that singing n dancing is something new, then think again..u don't need a club or organisation to do it...infact u just do it!!...we are ready to b a "captive audience"...n theres no better to kill creativity than make it regular..or for that matter yet another event...
please, for crying out loud, don't make us cry...
to end i would like to share a thought which Edward De Bono said.."Its always difficult to implement"... i.e. u just sell the same thing with different labels..now if u think i have given u a "creative" idea, think again...

I am no good a specialist!!

sometime back one bright mind had nothin much to offer so he decided to offer us advance finance, knowing fully well that most of don't have it in us to do it...but like a kid who is promised candy i took an "informed" decision and appeared for the test...didn't do that badly also but apparently v were not too good or too bad...ummm..motamoti..so lets call in these fellows for an interview and enjoy ourselves..it was obvious when v heard that there is an interview most of us will not clear it...but for them it was a way to justify our thought...n thats what happened exactly...regretfully we were told that we are a piece of crap...i just wonder that when did we feel we were capable of this course anyway.. afterall we are not specialists..only satisfaction that i have is that i can take it on if i want but not here, from a place where u can reap the benefits of the brand...
on this thought i raise my glass (figuratively) and prepare for another blissful 9 months
