Average workweek during your MBA: 1,000 pages to write

1,000,000 pages to read 1, 000,000,000 financial equations

And this isn’t even finals!

Getting out of the classroom means

more than sitting in the lawn.

George Bernard was an Irish playwright and a co-founder of the London School of Economics.

Greta Garbo was a famous actress during the silent film era of the Great Depression (and well after!)

Imagine a circle that contains all human knowledge

By the time you finish grade school, you know a little

By the time you finish high school, you know a bit more:

With a bachelor’s degree, you gain a specialty

And imagine, if during your graduate work, you go to the edge

And you push the boundary…just a little

So now, your world looks like this

But don’t forget the bigger picture

So keep pushing yourself

•  Be persistent! •  See the forest through the trees •  Find great people and learn from them •  School is about more than books
