Some Reflection About Business

As you know, I have enrolled myself in a business school to learn Entrepreneurship. Without the commitment of an MBA degree. Just to get an idea of what I would encounter, should I pursue an MBA. It is a 6 month long course and I think I learned a lot.

But as I get closer and closer to the end of the course (it will end on December). I realized that, I am not as enthusiastic as I was when I don't know much about business. Like in everything you don't know, it would look like "magic" at first. But when you know enough about the subject, it ceases to be magic.

And that is where I am at this point. I have listened to people who knew about business and listened to them intently with glaring eyes. It is because I thought that having a business is hard, complicated and in a word, magic. But I realized that business is not magic. Nor it is hard. It is not easy, but at the same time, it is not hard.

I began to question the reason I want to get into business now. When I think about it, before I enrolled in the course, I wanted to get into business to get power and respect. Power to have control of my own time and respect from other people because we seem to respect people who have more money.

I began to question this as I commute to school. Everyday, meditating the reason behind and what keeps me pursuing business. But it doesn't hold up to my character... My character of wanting to know about everything. And I think, going into business will only consume a lot of my time in pursuit of knowledge.

Knowing business itself is knowledge. Maybe perhaps that is the reason why it has been so alluring to me. But trading my time to get into business to get more money vs having more time to learn more about the world, technology, science, philosophy and strategy, is more appealing to me.

I'm not saying that business is not worth knowing. Everything is worth knowing. Everything.
