The Lords of Strategy, Bain & Co, Habit and What Business Student Is Missing

Walking around the blocks at 3:30 in the morning in a chilling night of Linton University College is not a conventional practice by students here (except for the ladies who are in relationship turmoil). Its cold, the only shop opened is the internet cafe business ran by my friend's (soul) partner.

This is a habit i had whenever my mind was racing fast with ideas and cant stop thinking. I need to take a break by walking and looking at nature. Only one friend knows this particular habit of mine; Nanis.

3 hours before, i just finished reading this exciting and full of knowledge book. The kind of knowledge ive been seeking for. Information about corporate strategy. The book also tells a story about my admired company; Boston Consulting Group, the company i wanna be hired by; Bain & Co and the company ive been eyeing for for years; McKinsey. - The Lords of Strategy by Walter Kiecher III.

Admiration for Bain & Co came after meeting the great young and intelligent people of the company while i was working at Le Meridien, Kuala Lumpur.

Ive read quarter of the book in 3 hours (which is considered slow to excellent readers) and not many book able to keep me up at night. The most recent book that kept me up at night is E-Myth book by Michael Gerber - more than 5 months ago. This book opened up my view on different subject and it is important as i am planning to be hired by Bain & Co after graduation (its a wishful thinking which i hope to achieve).

The first ever book that got me into this excitement is Cashflow Quadrant by Robert T Kiyosaki.

I am Computer Science student but my passion in understanding how business works surpasses the passion of Business Administration student i have encountered in the past 3 years based on conversations i have gone through with them. You will be surprised that they dont even know who is Peter Drucker.
