The MBA

As an MBA student with 2/3rd of it done, I should be good at well, managing. Managing people, managing product launches, managing corporate finances, managing pricing issues... yup, they teach all that and more at B-School.

But what about managing yourself? That's one part that seems to get more and more difficult to manage. This is no surprise. Our lives get increasingly complex. The responsibilities we take up, the knowledge we acquire, the personalities we encounter... even the number of friends we have on Facebook keeps increasing as we grow.

Is this self-imposed complexity in our lives out-pacing our ability to manage it? Gandhi had once said, "Be the change you want to see in the world". I would add that that we manage ourselves the way we aspire to manage the world.
