This blog documents my MBA student life at Ryerson University, Canada (2010-2012). It was an attempt to demystify the MBA experience, help understand MBA topics & encourage MBA wannabes. I have a Pre-MBA blog about B-School application process (and a few other blogs) as well. I used to blog actively in the past and interact with readers regularly, but life got very busy after my MBA. Good luck. Take care. Cheers! Gerry.

Transcript: "Think Different"
"Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do". - Apple Inc.
What a wonderful way to think! Salute !!! Plant Earth will miss you, Steve Jobs !!! Yes, I shall be the rebel, the crazy one, the one dissatisfied with status quo. But as you say, I am crazy enough to think that I shall change the world (for the better) and I shall be one of them who did!
- Steve Jobs died yesterday, on 5th October, 2011, around 8 PM?. Rest In Peace, Steve.

TRSM as good as Rotman? Ryerson MBA as good as University of Toronto MBA?
Met someone in class yesterday who works for the University of Toronto. He said that Ryerson MBA is awesome and that he was happy to be studying here. He said that he found the quality of classes here to be as good as U of T. And that Ryerson MBA is in no way inferior.
I agree. Ultimately, it is up tp the student to make what he / she wants to make out of the program. I mean, you could be a Harvard MBA, but if you are not motivated enough to excel, you can not expect just the "Harvard" label to keep you afloat, eh?
Also, how do you justify the $75000 that you spend at Rotman? No, I am not into Rotman bashing. And I do agree that Rotman helps you make great networks. And I did apply for and interview for Rotman too and you do have the right to call it a case of sour grapes, if you like. But all I am saying is that just because we study at TRSM, there is nothing to feel that we do not stand a chance to excel in our careers.
Remember, an MBA will only help you get your FIRST job. After that, it is your performance at your first job that shall help you get your 2nd job. And it is upto YOU to make what you want out of yourself :)

MB8207: International Entrepreneurship is an awesome course !!!
Awesome class by Prof. Alan Carsrud about Networking yesterday in the "MB8207: International Entrepreurship" class.
What I learnt: To start a good business, it is not always necessary to be smart at everything myself. If I learn know how to network well, put a bunch of smart people together and make them work in harmony; If I can be a smart Manager, hey, I can start and run a great company myself (instead of sending out a million resumes)!
This is a very useful course. Great teacher, Professor Alan. Very glad that I am doing this course. The best part is that it is stress free. You focus on learning and not on tests. Light assignments too. This affordable TRSM MBA is worth its weight in gold, baby :)
