Survival Strategy @ workplace!

In the magazine CAREERS360, I came across this wonderful column “Slog. Get your hands dirty!” by Prakash Iyer (MD, Kimberly-Clark lever and executive coach).
Here are a few excerpts (Ctrl+C -- Ctrl+V), from the same:

 An MBA does not make you a manager. It is only after you spend several more years learning on the job that you truly qualify to call yourself a manager.

 The world outside the classroom is a very different place. Get ready to get surprised.

 If you want to be successful, work hard, dirty your hands – and go beyond your specific role.

 Initially, what you learn is more important than what you earn. In your first job – don’t worry about pay packet or the size of the organization. Get a good boss. A good mentor. That’s priceless.

 It’s not about the company. It’s about you. Do the best with what you have, wherever you are. We could all benefit by staying focused on doing a great job – rather than worrying about the next job, or the next promotion. Do a good job. Success and happiness will follow. Inevitably.
