“Ahead of the curve” Two years at Harvard Business School

"Harvard" could be a distant concept to me, but I don't resist in reading books about what "it" has taught to students. 

I have recently read a book called "“Ahead of the curve”  Two years at Harvard Business School, and casually made some summary out of its contents as follows: 

1.     When we look back, the big things will look small and the little things will look big

2.     Comparison is the death of happiness, you risk beating yourself up comparing with others

3.     We are all we have. No one else will rescue us. 

The victors would be those who “made change their friend”

1.     Resist the temptation to be a short-termist

2.     Be honest with yourself about what jobs are the right ones for you

3.     Keep your moral compass

4.     Maintain the proper balance between your professional career and your personal life

No career engineer, simply to learn and grow at every opportunity.

Professional happiness comes usually from being good at doing something really difficult

Education is not simply about getting a job, but putting up the structure for more interesting/meaningful life.
