Son (excited): Hey Dad! I am going pro! Aha, I am going pro!!
Dad: Oh, ho! Okay! Yeah! I don't know.. you know.. you'll probably be about as good as I was.. that's a kind of the way it works... I was below average... so you'll probably ultimately rank somewhere around there, you know. So... you'll excel in a lot of things, just not this... I don't you shooting this ball around all day and night... alright?
Son (sad): alright...
Dad (after a moment of reflection and seeing how sad his comment made his son): Hey... Don't ever let somebody tell you.. you can't do something... not even me, alright?
Son: alright...
Dad (continuing): You've got a dream? You've got to protect it. People can't do something themselves, they wanna tell you - you can't do it. If you want something, go get it, period.
This blog site is about my journey to B-school. The posts were written in 2009 & 2010, BEFORE I started my MBA. I had no mentor / guidance while applying & learned through trial & error, from random sources like websites, forums, and blogs. I got acceptance into 4 universities & had an interview at a 5th. Accepted a scholarship at Ryerson U. Started MBA in Sep. 2010. Completed in Dec. 2012. Good luck with your MBA applications and journey! Take care. Gerry.
