I Made It!

Woohoo!

I made it through the second screening of the MarkProf search for the top 25 marketing management trainees. Well now, I am part of the top 100.. er.. 76 for that matter out of hundreds of applicants.

Final screening date on August 30. Sir Barry, pa-absent ulit.. *insert big sad pleading puppy dog eyes here*

And to those who are asking why I haven't posted anything lately, guys, may thesis din ako.. :)

Congrats to Nikki Valdez as well.

Happy happy joy joy.

When I Started to Doubt

One word is enough for a wise man.

Yes your grades will qualify you for a cum laude honor, maybe even a magna. You may belong to the best of the batch. But you don't have a clue as to what is happening in the world today. You won't believe something even though it slaps you on the face unless it has statistical support. You laugh last at jokes which are even explained to you. You can't even follow simple instructions and expect to be dictated as to what to do.

You are flawless with your theoreticals. But are you ready to step out of the classroom and into the world of spontainity, harsh realities and time constraints that require you to think on your own.

I am not doubting your capabilities to memorize theories. What I'm not sure of is how you will apply those in the real world.

Wake up honey, it's show time.
