“As you journey through life, choose your destinations well, but do not hurry there. You will arrive soon enough. Wander the back roads and forgotten paths, keeping your destination in your heart like the fixed point of a compass. Seek out new voices, strange sights, and ideas foreign to your own. Such things are riches for the soul. And, if upon arrival, you find that your destination is not exactly as you had dreamed, do not be disappointed. Think of all you would have missed but for the journey there, and know that the true worth of your travels lies not in where you come to be at the journey’s end, but who you came to be along the way.”
My attempt at my master’s degree has run its course. I have gone through ups and many downs during the process and I’m so grateful to have finished the wonderful adventure this year. When this all started in January, I knew it would be tough yet I anticipated it would be worth it. At the end, looking back, I am glad to say that sentiment was very much true. The MBA is tough and very much worth taking off the year to attempt.
Before I close out this series, the highlight of what was an exciting time of the school, being on the move.
Between recruitment, classes, weddings, personal discovery and loved ones, I have covered over 20,000 kms the last couple of months. Interestingly, I enjoyed every meter of it and I’m thankful that I was able to do this in support of my education.
