the concretization of ideals.
the acute insight into personal values.
... these are what make my experience here at harvard astounding. and absolutely traumatizing.
permit me to highlight some of the insights from the future leaders of the free world (admittedly and purposefully taken completely out of context):
"my study group ... i don't know why ... did it this way."
"i used to think that, but ... i was told 'no'."
"professor, i don't think your numbers are kosher."
"this is harvard business school. we make people answer their own questions."
student: "what stops me from buying [a lot] of companies like that?"
professor: "nothing. i wish you luck!"
professor: "why?"
student: "you should know. it's pretty self-explanatory."
"here's the part where you're supposed to make up the answer."
"i used to think that, but ... i was told 'no'."

"here's the part where you're supposed to make up the answer."
".... and with that, you can annihilate the competition."
"so we should just withhold information? it's a source of power, you know."
"subtle flattery of your boss will get you far in life."
"fear is a great motivator. don't forget that when you're someone's boss."
"no offense to that guy but i could probably do it better myself."
"so what if i tell my boss he's wrong? i can get another job. i graduated from harvard business school."
"subtle flattery of your boss will get you far in life."
Doubtful, but I'll try.
