About a year ago I read this quote from Mark Twain (emphasis mine):
“Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.”
It's not everyday that you can say "Hey, I had lunch with Ohio's Lieutenant Governor!" (although as a student in the MAcc program, you can get pretty close to saying such awesome things on a daily basis).
I can't believe fall quarter has come and gone already. Seriously, it seems like last week I was making sure I had enough notebooks, pencils, and pens to last me 10 weeks. I was just sitting down to write my first blog post. I was getting ready to meet my professors for the first time. Yeah - that wasn't last week...
On Wednesday, October 5, General Electric Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Immelt was on campus for the “Leading from the Middle” National Middle Market Summit and took the time to speak with Fisher students. Just as a little added bonus, GE Capital Chairman and CEO Michael Neal also came along. Wow. Not bad for a Wednesday afternoon.
