Imperfection makes the beauty

The way I think about my MBA experience is one that you need to focus more on your inner self rather than pursuing outer achievements. In the real world, it's so easy to get into the habit of evaluating what you've gained through a set of achievements (promotion, bigger bonus, higher title , recognized company brand etc) rather than through understanding how the experience has changed you into a better or stronger person. I suspect that if one doesn't fully understand what has made him/her achieved his/her goals, it would be hard for him/her to replicate the success. In my view MBA (particularly the Haas environment ) is a perfect environment for you to think about how all the extra-curriculum activities, study group discussions, group projects, speaker series and lectures have changed you. After all, MBA is a life changing experience. If you cannot articulate how the experience has changed you, you haven't open yourself up

Recently I was involved in the Challenge 4 Charity cheerleading competition. Before our final practice, we were taking things very easy and slowly. Initially I was a little frustrated at how uncommitted people were towards the practices and was beginning to regret that I signed up for the competition. But in the end we pulled everything together and I had a great time. We put our 100% effort during our performance and that was all it takes to be good enough.

I learned that although practice makes perfect, perfect doesn't make you happy. Imperfection is what makes everything funny, cute and beautiful
