"Seth Godin, blogger and author of Unleashing the Ideavirus (Simon &
Schuster, 2002) and Purple Cow (Penguin Books, 2005), thinks that
contrary to popular opinion, quitting is a good thing. For instance,
Bill Gates quit Harvard and founded Microsoft (MSFT). IBM (IBM) quit
making PCs. Both ended up with positive results."
In the letter, I moaned "The first semester of MBA went through. It
was bloody hard. I progressed steadily but not as well as I had
expected.
The reason that made me make up my mind to accept the MBA offer does
not exist any more. And, I am standing on a crossing again.
You know, when I was in USA, I am "international." There is
always a spike there drives me to pursue higher and more. Here, I am
just a housewife, studying full-time, doing nothing, and do not speak
the prestigious French. Thinking about my time fleeing away, thinking
about my family and friends in China yearning for my return, thinking
about a dream job, thinking about so many many things.
I am taking summer courses as well. But I only take one in Summer I
and another one in Summer II. The long daytime here makes me feel
better. You know, the past four months had been a nightmare or
something. I have to deal with microeconomic, macroeconomics,
statistics, and finanicial accounting all together. Thank God, that
had been past.
From two weeks ago, Montreal seems like jumps into spring or summer.
Last snow dropped in the first week of April. A week after, sun comes
out and never had gone. Trees sprout in just few days. My Summer I
began with less loaded work and a better teacher. I mean, finally, I
met a teacher that teaches straight, talks explicitly, and being
simple. Thank God!"
