My Sauder MBA Souvenir DVD Entry

This should be my entry into our class souvenir DVD which I haven’t seen and may never get to see. Hopefully no one saw fit to edit my agonizingly chosen words. That said I wouldn’t put it past some of my classmates to do such a thing.

Some quotations:

Apologizing to a friend with whom he had quarreled Alexander Woollcott wrote:
“I’ve tried by tender and conscientious nursing to keep my grudge against you alive, but I find it has died on me.”

Samuel Johnson the second most quoted man in the English language stated:
“The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.”

Dr. Johnson also wrote, “Always, sir, set a high value on spontaneous kindness. He whose inclination prompts him to cultivate your friendship of his own accord, will love you more than one whom you have been at pains to attach to you.”

Lastly remember Montgomery Burns‘ advice:
“I’ll keep it short and sweet. Family, religion, friendship, these are the three demons you must slay if you wish to succeed in business.“

Update March 2015

Having battled depression for over ten years, I can not recommend blogging about your personal problems. Some people will never believe you and they just do not care how much their words and actions hurt you. I doubly do not recommend blogging about your personal problems while looking for work. Depression has left many gaps in my resume and I’ve never recovered from doing my MBA at the Sauder School of Business.
