What a week it has been at ISB. Listening to the seniors, getting gyan from them, being humbled at times, feeling proud at others....Like they said, its the most humbling experiences of your life. Until you have heard from other people all that they have done, you cant put your achievements in perspective. But do your achievements actually carry no importance all alone. Do they really need to be weighed and compared against those of other people to make you feel proud of them?
There are things I have done in my life which I am reall y proud of, which might seem small to other people. Again there are things which I dont think really deserve a mention, and yet someone else might commend them. So its all a question of personal interest and desire. Society controls us to such an extent that we cant even view our achievements in solo. The person who comes first is commended, its not the competition only that matters, its winning.
Having said that, what also matters is your commitment and the passion to get a job done. The talent night at ISB was a case in point. With a range of awesome performances by people, all organised within a space of 2-3 days, it proved how coordination and teamwork is important and how much you can learn from it. People management is a difficult skill. But the results are worth the efforts it takes.

About the Cliche "it's all Greek to me""
ALL GREEK TO ME - Goes back to Shakespeare. The line was first spoken by Casca, one of the conspirators against Caesar in the first act of 'Julius Caesar.' He was speaking of the comments made by Cicero after Caesar three times refused the crown of emperor.
Cicero actually did speak in Greek, using that language as a device to make sure that casual passers-by did not understand his remarks. Today the expression 'It's all Greek to me' simply means that what has been said is beyond the speaker's understanding." From "Morris Dictionary of Word and Phrase Origins" by William and Mary Morris (HarperCollins, New York, 1977, 1988).
