If I get into a top B-School then this is how my life might be according to me. And these thoughts are the forces that drive me to get into a top B-School. There will be two set of changes, viz., Internal and External.
Internal changes are the improvements that my mentality will go through. Beginning with my overall personality, I see myself as a knowledgeable and a wise man. I would have wisdom in abundance and the true sense of how the world can work according to my perceptions. Learning, Intelligence, excellence and Love will be my greatest hunger and offer. I will strive to obtain the knowledge that may not be urgent but is very important (Inspired from the book ‘7 Habits of Highly Effective People’ by Stephen Covey). Solving any and every kind of problems in any and every field with Out-of-the-Box ideas will be my strength. Lack of information will never be a hindrance for me. Not considering anyone above me or below me, I would derive my motivations from within. Not only will I excel in academic areas but also in humanity areas. Never losing my greatest strength, My Patience, I will build a quintessential benevolent and humane character. At the end of a day the person in the mirror must be satisfied. In short I will build a mind like the creator of the universe and a heart like that of the Sun.
External Changes are the transformations that my external surroundings will go through. I would expect less from people and worry about what my role towards them is. I would be a man of noble personality. Rational people will respect me for my knowledge and character. My relatives shall take pride and elevate their chests for being related to me. Also, I will satisfy my parents by making them realise that it is because of them that a great personality has emerged from their little child. As a leader I will make efforts to realise mine as well as every learner’s motives. Optimum Efficiency will be the lowest standard that I can set. Any novice approaching me for knowledge will not leave disappointed. He/she will gain more than required. As a general idea of possessions, I will have what I feel is necessary for maintaining my personality. Greed for possessions will be forbidden in my kingdom of thoughts. With enough financial strength I shall make my life adventurous by trekking around the world. My standard of living will be no less than fantasy and no more than simple. My parents, my spouse and my descendants will be my highest priority to share my world of wisdom and emotions. In the end, I will leave a mark on the earth and its civilizations. My absence shall be felt more than my presence.
If I don’t get into a top B-School all this will happen at a slightly lower intensity. But passing out from one of them shall make this fiery train of thought more intense and thus help me live life king-size.
