April 20 Spring Semester好久不写BLOG,实习没有进展,生活照常进行,幸福指数时起时落。偶见朋友之朋友MBA LIFE感言,嗟叹全球MBA同出一辙,感慨良多。 “重压在肩,大家都鞠躬尽瘁,如履薄冰。Think big。Aim high。Social是要积极地,个人魅力是要散发地。听讲座是要认真地,提问是要smart地。作业是要按时地,group meeting是要contribute地。逃课是被逼无奈地,reception是不敢不去地。衣着是要formal地,武装要到牙齿地。谈话要有quality地,退出要有策略地。名片是要索取地,身份是不能记错地。觉是可以不睡地,thank-you note不能不发地。内容最好customize地,感情要是真挚地。WSJ是每天要看地,PMP要有素材地。Deadline是不能错过地,interview是要反复mock地。Final是不能不考地,复习是没日没夜地。叫苦是没有用地,我们都是成了人地。”
1.重压在肩,大家都鞠躬尽瘁,如履薄冰。 课程的压力,找实习的压力,经济的压力,uncertainty的压力,特别是几个项目同时进行,multi-tasking coordination的压力,压力之下见人品。如履薄冰,be humble。上学期做M&A项目,我们Team在给定的Target范畴外又选了30多个Targets, 详细分析,洋洋洒洒写了100页的Ranking Document,最后得了B+ (不错的成绩,却和我们的期望值相差很大),导师评价:unnecessarily long。还有一次做PMO case study, 很强的Team阵容,一位ATK的consultant, 一位President of Investment Banking Society,一位PPT Jockey and me, 做得case Tutor不欣赏。Don’t let model dictate your thinking and analysis. 确实我们先选定模型,再用模型去套案例,而不是源自对案例的把握分析。一组人废寝忘食工作的成果得不到好评,very frustrated indeed. However, it’s the way that we learn.
2. Think big, Aim high。 再加一句:do small。我们有一个SMS (Soft Management Skills) Project,我负责筹备MBA Ball。当功课紧张,其他项目Deadline逼近的时候,这个项目自然不是Priority,再加上这个项目的Chairman是个气焰嚣张的印度人,我从一开始就对这个项目比较反感。没办法,一来是课程学分要求,二是维持自己的Reputation,只好耐着性子做琐碎小事。设计宣传海报,经营没人看得MBA Ball Blog (没时间写Personal Blog的原因,partially),手工制作菜单和抽奖券。
When we saw everyone have a great time at MBA Ball, we felt our hard work paid off. I even feel I could be a professional event manager after hosting the ball. Do small and learn a lot from trivialities. In the end, the Chairman dropped us feedback and mine is as follows. Irene: She had the skill to draw the boundaries of the project and very amazing creative and designing skills. This coupled with her beautiful smile which eased out situations a lot many times....keep smiling... (To be continued) |
