Challenges
Life and b-school throw up new challenges everyday. For starters, reaching for the lectures @ 8:30 in the morning espescially in delhi winters is a challenge in itself.
But more than this are the challenges thrown by individuals and taken on by individuals themselves. Not always is it wise to pick up every challenge thrown at you, but once you do, stick to it is the motto! As Jason Steltham says in Transporter 2- " Never make a promise which you can't keep"
In some ways, all this is remniscent of Steve Waugh-a character I really really admire simply for the fact that whenever a challenge was thrown at him, he picked the gauntlet. An excellent example for all of us on how to work within your limitations and challenge the limits. And this is precisely what as an individual each one of us should aim for- supreme confidence and belief in your abilities coupled with the tenacity to take on all odds.
Can't help but remember Steven Waugh again: his quote in the World Cup semi-finals against South Africa when Gibbs spilled a sitter. " You just dropped the cup son" And this when Australia was miles away from victory.
Arrogance you might say- I call it confidence. Confidence to accept the challenges inspite of all odds stacked against you and then having the guts to complete it.

never make promises easy..if yes then do keep them
never make friends easy..if yes
then do keep them
Its all a test of emotional strength afterall. And in no way could anyone perceive what you say to be arrogance.
And what Mr. Waugh said abt it, "You just dropped the cup mate", not son;)
Make sure you have the ability to persist and fight. Never give up on any thing and any one. Something you need to look at is the latter.

you sure Waugh used mate and not son: me sure it was reported as son :)
do agree that you should be prepared to slug it out and not give up on anything. i am not sure abt not giving up on anyone-there are some sad cases around who really are incorrigible..for example RRF...don't u think so? :)
