6. During my eighty-seven years, I have witnessed a whole succession of technological revolutions. But none of them has done away with the need for character in the individual or the ability to think.” “ I could not forget my father’s look the day I proudly informed him I was worth a million dollars. The kindly, quizzical expression told me, more clearly than words, that in his opinion, money making was a secondary matter… Of what use to a man are millions of dollars unless he does something worthwhile with them” “ The art of living lies not in eliminating but in growing with troubles.” “ Millions saw the apple fall, but Newton was the one who asked why.” Baruch College, CUNY

I have no idea when I first said this, but the fact remains that, when it comes to business, I believe in the value of paranoia. Business success contains the seeds of its own destruction. The more successful you are, the more people want a chunk of your business and then another chunk and then another until there is nothing left. I believe that the prime responsibility of a manager is to guard constantly against other people's attacks and to inculcate this guardian attitude in the people under his or her management.

The spacing between modules affords time to balance work, study and life. The course is also flexible enough to work around busy spells in the office. For example I had to defer a couple of modules to the following year to allow for business travel. It’s taken the pressure off, giving me peace of mind to enjoy a higher quality of focused study time. The lecturers, whom all fly over from New York, have been inspirational. From captains of industry to academic intellects, they make the daunting weekends fly by. I can’t emphasize enough how rewarding and energizing they are. The relevance and direct application of all the course material has helped my career tremendously. Be warned, it’s not easy. Join this course with your eyes wide open and be prepared to work. Conversely everyone on the course wants to be there, they all want to contribute and do the best they can, so you will have a first class support group and team around you.
