Some of my classmates have been offered jobs, some are still looking. Regardless of what people will choose to do, remain humble and always remember how fortunate you are.

Your MBA does not replace experience. Learn from whoever you will work with, accept that you will not have all the answers but trust that you have everything in you to advance you well on the quest to the solution. Pick your battle and don’t waste your time on what matters little to you, your family, your country, your business.

Be generous.

Be thankful to society at large. You would never have gotten this degree without an education system, without various bits of infrastructures, without the knowledge accumulated over the past millenniums, without a market for companies, without support from your partners, families and friends, an old professor or a mentor. The list is long. Regardless of how much money you make, you cannot claim it as being all yours, as so many have contributed to your success.
Give back to society and become active in helping others to reach similar levels of satisfaction, whichever path they choose.

Do what you like doing so that you can do it with passion – and faith.

When facing hard times, remember that every problem comes with a solution. Your focus is to find it.
