Kharbanda, work is the only lasting source of happiness in human life. Indeed it is work that distinguishes man from animals. An individuals psychological growth takes place through work. Neglect of work leads to boredom, vice and even loss of self-respect. All of us long for happiness, but as Aristotle pointed out, happiness is an unimpeded activity. We all long for leisure, but it can be enjoyed best
Nothing worthwhile is ever achieved without deep thought and hard work, was one of the important of tenets of late JRD Tatas philosophy There is no substitute for hard work. Most of the new millionaires have not built their castles in the air. They work anything between 12 to 17 hours a day. Take the case of Kamal Oswal of OWM Group of Rs. 55-crore business empire. Work is the main hobby...I love to take on the challenges of change. Without challenge there is hardly any fun in business, Oswal observed.
It is important to prioritise ones work schedule. With so much to do in a given day its never possible to do everything. But whats most important must be tackled immediately, says Ramachandran Krishana, Sr. Director, American Express Bank. Utilise the time in the best way possible. Learn to work simultaneously viewing TV, or scan business reports while travelling. Use the best moments of the day for work with a lot of mental stimulus.
To co-ordinate, the first step is a plan .The total task has to be divided into sub-tasks, and then priorities and time management have to be worked out.

Whats the alternative? The best course is that once you have set your target and know your field of activity, job or business, you have to chalk out a programme to come out of the undesirable and embarrassing situation

Look at what 72-year old Pierre Cardin, the high priest of western attire, a well-known international personality in the world of fashion, said in his reply to a reporter who asked him about his daily schedule, If you do what I do everyday, you will die. I work 18-20 hours a day, even at this age. Dont go by the champagne, the jet-set life and the glitzy party in cocktail circuits. Behind that is very hard work, strict schedule, careful planning and a rigid discipline.
So you see it is not very easy. I believe in doing everything in moderation,

IFIM school offers MBA programme
MOST MBA programmes offered these days insist on work experience from the candidates. Even institutes that do not ask for experience as eligibility condition and give preference to candidates who have worked in a management position. How does work experience make a difference to MBA programme?
Offering an 18-month MBA exclusively for working professionals in partnership with the city-based IFIM Business School, the AUT University New Zealand provides an answer: Freshers, who are exposed to only theory, will not have a context to apply them. An MBA develops analytical frameworks and it does not give answers.
B-Schools are increasingly roping in a number of younger and lesser-experienced MBA aspirants.Ross Geraghty delves deeper into this trend while mentioning that it is still advisable to gain considerable work experience before enrolling for a business programme.
Unlike for most educational courses, for an admission to an MBA course,a minimum of three years of work experience in a managerial role is crucial. This figure can be higher in some cases.
In rare cases will a institute accept recent graduates. This, too, is done for exceptionally talented students.
