I have noticed that among my many successful, high flyers MBA graduates, they have one outstanding trait or character. The attitude of 'push on achieving', a principle which ANU advocates for all their students to adopt. In the face of recession, boom or crisis, the attitude is to 'push on achieving' big or small achievements doesn't matter but the consistency of accomplishing achieving targets, goals and objectives are more important than the quantity.
If you find your life is a bit on the down hill, due to the work place environment or due to the economic situations, take heart, just push on achieving. Masters students never 'give up' and they are trained and taught to see things from a different angle or view.
In times of recession, which is about to come, judging from the symptoms of the US economy, we at ANU look at it as a blessing and a time for us to compete with the ivy league big campus universities. Our free scholarship schemes will propel us ahead for executives and for financially strapped students to adopt our programs in order to get ahead. Indeed, we look forward to the recession and welcome it as it will be very good for us.
