MBA Orientation, First Day of Class, and Career Discovery!
Yesterday was the first day of my MBA program and I could say with strong certainty that I found my classes engaging and challenging, as well as practical towards my career dreams. Immediately, the professor spoke of how using statistical analysis has its significance in many aspects of our lives that we don't even realize, such as in investments, online data mining, social networking. Data is transferred in many different mediums, including text.

Google search and the power of numbers!
Attempting to optimize my LinkedIn profile, I came across this informative article:

On the commute back to Sacramento for the beginning of my MBA program, I went through my reading assignments for Business Statistics and read about the power of numbers in defining the algorithms of online searches. Although math never being my strong-suit, the practicality of the science has always intrigued me. You always hear people say, "what is the point of learning algebra when I am never going to use it again after this class," but - in my opinion - this is absolutely untrue. Math has endless uses in every aspect of life, whether it is to determine the viability of a business idea or the chances of your favorite sports team winning this year. Systematically making sense of the numbers can help you make better decisions, however, I also believe in balancing logic with intuition. No matter how you assess the probability of your success in the stock market, for example, one must also trust their instincts.

Quote of the Day!
“It’s so easy to get caught up wanting to save the world, run a successful business, be in great shape, have immense wealth… success, no wonder we runs ourselves ragged.
When all is said and done, what we really want is to be happy, feel loved… for life to flow; and when that’s your aim is life everything else falls in to place; well, that’s what I’ve found.”

Sometimes, we lost sight of what is important in our lives. As a man, I've come to realize gender inequality is still very prominent in our modern society. More on this later...
