Do yourself a favour...

Forget about the 'International' MBA and job switches and salary increments and knowledge pool sharing etc etc etc...

My MBA can be summarized in 7 points. 7...ummm. Wonder why all those self help books are '7' oriented. Maybe there is something to it.

Anyway, Fred (who is presently in France or Italy, training for his new job, and praying to get back to sunny Singapore) and I came up with this one evening a few months ago in Bali... We called it the 'Pocket the 7 Point MBA...'

Precious words you must heed to. Honestly, do yourself a favour and b#$%s to the MBA.

• A Dollar in hand today is worth more than a Dollar tomorrow (every finance class in Term 1 had this - immortalized by Vim's Bhabi)
• There is no free lunch
• Don’t reinvent the wheel
• Don’t put all your eggs in one basket
• The Chicken & egg story… which came first?... (this made me laugh, when uttered by none other than the Rabbit himself).
• If a Product is over-priced, it is an opportunity lost for the company, and market share falls (This classic was said by none other than the authority of Channels, Vivek Gupta)
• 1 + 1 is not equal to 2. .. account for synergy effects. Can also be said as: The whole is greater than the sum of its parts
