an empty feeling
Posted by Ahmed Mustafa , Monday, March 22, 2010 9:52 AM
every time im using our college bus i get a really empty feeling, and this feeling is driven by the stares and looks that we get when people see the name on our bus...IBA...Leadership and ideas for tomorrow..
It forces me to think...are we really worth all the looks that we get. When we pass other colleges and get wistful glances from them, i cant keep from asking myself, are we, the lucky few, the best of the country, doing ANYTHING AT ALL to change our surroundings? As we dream about better salaries, a better car, a better overall standard of living, why dont we ever dare to be different than the other drones that other substandard colleges are churning out?
If we are the chosen ones shouldnt we be doing something about this? If a person came from the lower class, maybe he was deservin because atleast he would think about changing his current status in life? But what are we doing? Continuing our fathers journey and doing nothing different?
Just food for thought...

i remember writing about something along the same lines way back when i used to blog and the system of business education at IBA had upset me - times have changed now ahmed, good things are happening at iba!! mindsets have begun to change, it's slow now but gradually you'll see the difference as people begin to step up! :) meanwhile, you can start with you!
