Another Year in Tokyo

And sometimes elsewhere.

February 23, 2019

Away time: 2nd month in IMD, Lausanne

Time is definitely not linear; it can go slow and fast at the same time.

Two months in and I started to grab a feeling of the so-called “IMD life”. People are talking about a term referred as your “IMD moment”, meaning, when you suddenly realize it is too much, too overwhelming and nothing is under control, and you start to panic – that is the classic “IMD moment”.

Luckily (or possibly the contrary), I haven’t been through mine yet. I guess for my culture, pressure from pure school work is something I have been trained to get used to since childhood, and as a result I have a higher threshold. I imagine, if I panicked, most of my classmates from other cultures must have gone crazy already.

However, something quite new has started to bother me, and has a potential to let me get my “IMD moment” eventually.

I guess this is a part of the MBA journey – to learn about new challenges and turn them into something of myself, either an opportunity or a learning. I remember a quote saying “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”. Such a cliche; I know! I am just being hopeful. 🙂

Crossing my figures and concentrating my energy; I will not be killed!

(sorry about a short post. Let’s talk again. )

I’m not even sure if what I did can be called as “crafting”, but it did feel good to create something! 😌 p.s., apparently I’m having difficulties in blowing and turning an extremely hot object at the same time... 😅.
