On Being the Best

What is the Ateneo GSB advantage?

I have been often asked on the relevance of this exercise to entrepreneurship. Well James said; you can master others if you can master others. Sun Tzu, the great Chinese strategist said it: Knowing thyself, knowing thy enemies, a hundred battles, a hundred victories. If you can not be proud of yourself, how can you be proud of your product; if you cant affirm yourself locally, how can you affirm globally where you must compete. If can not be competitive even with your voice and words, how can you be competitive in your action.

Being the best is never complete

Being the best is not reached. Your goal is to better everyday; perfection as in Kaizen is never achieved. The best can not be good enough. We have to improve everyday. John Pages told this when he was the guest in my class in Cebu. He wanted to be a much better toastmaster/master of ceremonies then, 5 years later. One always has hunger for infinity as they say in Philosophy.

Perfection is not a destination; it is a journey.
