Dispatch 9/6/2011

7:29 P.M.  Sitting at a friend's house watching an excellent special on the History Channel about the capture of Osama bin Laden.  It's been nearly four months since Navy Seals raided his compound in Pakistan.  The build-up to the capture is what interests me more than the actual operation.  Politicians are terrified of setting military boots on foreign soil, especially in a country that supposedly our ally.   

I haven't had time to keep well-informed on international events in the past week.   I noticed that South Korea will send aid to North Korea to assist flood victims. I'd love to visit that part of the world someday--I've been learning a ton about Asian culture and business in my international management course.

School has been fascinating to say the least.  I'm taking accounting, finance, and supply chain management courses in addition to the I-Business course I mentioned earlier.  We are finally digging into the meat and potatoes of these important issues after a slow start.  Syllabus day and the first week in general is always the most intimidating part of the school year.  To make matters somewhat more complicated, my sickness has prevented me from paying thorough attention in all my courses.  Stuffed up in September.


You only get one chance at this life--you'd better make it count.  Recently, I've noticed a fear that holds students back.  They are intimidated at looking embarrassed when asking questions.  I tell you what--even if you ask a question that has an obvious answer, that question could spark more thoughts that help you.  Never stop thinking and asking questions.  Always be learning.
