Getting My MBA at 48

Need a change of study

It is a another day that studying get put aside because of life. It is hard to study when you are at home, with family and friends around. That wish to do things.

I think about the book I just read and how they talk about family, and how if (these big successful CEOs) would have spent more time with their family. But they are looking at it from a prospective of having money. Yes money doesn’t by you happiness but it does make things like buying food and paying for the bills easier.

Simple stresses that don’t occur, we (I) face, having to work 13 days in a row only to have 1 day off. I actually have 2 more but I promised to go to Boston with my girlfriend which will be nice then 8 more days in a row. I am hoping to get some studying done on the trip back and forth to Boston, we shall see.

But I know I need to find that blend, for me it is hard because I have a hard time to focus. Sometimes things around me pull my attention, I know that but it doesn’t make it easier. My mind has fallen because I have not keep the training up though I am not worried nothing ever is accomplished by big achievements, it is the little things one by one stepping stones that change the course of history, my history. As long as I keep everyday moving forward, growing everyday, and adjusting my thoughts and actions at the same time keeping my integrity and my beliefs I will succeed.

I have faith in my beliefs and I will not fail in these classes, for it is not an option. I either do or don’t and I choose do. As Hannibal said “We will either find a way or make one”

So with him I will find a way to blend (balance) Family, work and school.

We all sat around tonight to watch 60 minutes, they had a special on Remembering Walter Cronkite. They talked about him being a America icon, someone that will be remember in American History. Yet I don’t think the children that were born after 1980 will or do even know who his is or was unless they wish to get into journalism or broadcasting.

Todays kids remember people like Steve Jobs CEO of Apple the man that brought them the iPod and iPhone. Not saying I don’t know who Steve Jobs is I had an apple computer since I first brought mine back in the early 90′s.

But I also know about Walter Cronkite, it is about education continuous education something we all should strive to do.

As my girlfriend just said “See how much life can change in a day” there is an old chinese verse that talks about if you haven’t seen someone in a couple of days look at them carefully and see what has changed. One of my favorite “Luck favors the prepared mind”

Yes we as a society have been growing, changing and that job 20 years ago don’t exist anymore and tomorrow new ones will be here that know one has dreamed up.

So why should we remember people such as Walter Cronkite, because we shouldn’t become future smart and history dumb
