Derailed

I know... I know it has been a long time… one month to be precise.. all work and no play makes GMAT studying an impossible and daunting task…

Just appeared as a lightning. If you have not decided on a date.. you can never prepare on a moving target.
1. Have not been reading..
2. Have to take up a diagnostic test
3. Have not yet booked a date
4. Did not realize it’s a month since I have not studied. Phew!!

5. Have to get myself some holidays to get into the grove.

Solution:
1. Will start today. Fixed a buy in 10 minutes after arriving. So can chill the entire day.
2. Will take diagnostic test on Sunday after 2 days of acclimatization.
3. Will book date after next month’s salary.. no money heeeehee..
4. Can’t cry over spilt milk. Will just go milk another cow!!

5. Also a job change on the cards, leaves me with less than two months to prepare… Just asked for leave so will be off for 2 weeks… should avoid the temptation of me going to the Bangalore film festival.

From Fountainhead.

It is not in the nature of man - nor of any living entity - to start out by giving up.

Some give up at the first touch of pressure; some sell out; some run down by imperceptible degrees and lose their fire, never knowing when or how they lost it. Then all of these vanish in the vast swamp of their elders who tell them persistently that maturity consists of abandoning one's mind; security, of abandoning of one's values; practicality, of losing self-esteem.

Yet a few hold on and move on, knowing that that fire is not to be betrayed, learning how to give it shape, purpose and reality. But whatever their future, at the dawn of their lives, men seek a noble vision of man's nature and of life's potential.
