Phase 2 Begins!!

There is a different kind of feeling post GMAT. I am feeling a bit aimless of sorts. This might come as a surprise but really after coming back from office I sometime look around and just scratch my head. I used to prepare for the GMAT almost everyday. Ok, at least visited all the GMAT prep sites and read out articles and practice some questions. All this took my time, but now it is all over. I know there is lot more to do. In fact whatever I have done till now is may be just 10% of the whole thing. But you know, I have realized something. It is much easier to prepare for an exam than to work towards a goal( read B-school admission) which does not have a fixed framework in place. GMAT is actually quite straightforward. You have a set of books to prepare from. After sometime you know your weak areas. Keep on working on them and eventually if you are consistent enough, you will show some improvement. The bottom line: you have a framework or methodology in place, follow a strict schedule and you will get a decent score, if not a stellar one.
BUT my friends, identifying your long term goals, short term goals, strengths and weaknesses is much more difficult. It requires honest introspection, detailed analysis of who you are and most difficult of all realization of you weaknesses which eventually limit the size of your ambitions. I have been trying to do the same for a while now. Trying to look back at my life, calling back all those instances which have left an imprint on me. It is darn difficult you know. On top of that when you have to write essays that bring out the real self of you like a 3D Hollywood movie, it becomes a herculean task. But I am not disappointed with the confusion around me. I know there is a way out. It requires concentration, hard work and perseverance. At present, I am a confused dude who is looking all around his inner self to frame a story which is worth a read. But like Winston Churchill, I have nothing to offer but blood, sweat, toil and tears. Lets see how the story unfolds.

Cheers!!
