    ok. Here is the deal. I have one more MBA class to take, then I am off to the capstone and final. As a Sensei, I am used to motivating my understudies by any means necessary. Sometimes that means shouting in their face like a drill sargeant. But who motivates the Sensei?

    Bring it on folks! I need a push. I am tired, but I need to do what I tell my students to do. There is wall I need to break through, I just need to enroll in the next class, and I will be closer to being done. Give me some good reasons to finish. I just need to hear it!

    Good day! I must go run a bunch of errands!

    As far as I'm concerned, there's only one real reason to finish.

    You'll feel better.

    You can do it.

    It will only get harder...

    if you quit. It will eat you up to quit without finishing.

    You can do it. Think of all of us at your back, supporting you and propelling you forward.

    Abner,

    You are not alone in this journey, as I struggle myself in trying to finish my doctorate with NCU, because I am tired (mentally and physically), but then when I think about the money and time already invested that will be lost if I don't finish my degree, that gets me motivated right away. Keep it up, you can do this. By reaching to others for support is a step of finishing what you started. Buena Suerte!

    If you give up now you have wasted the past year or two of your life and will have nothing to show for it. When I was in basic training (Army) the drill instructor said most people are afraid to join the military and not all that join finish. He went on to say no matter what happens in life you could always say you finished something you started that most people do not have the guts to do.

    Question for you: don't you want to say that about an MBA?

    Print out your existing resume. Now, go edit your resume to include your new MBA- how does it look? Stick them both on the frig. Make it happen.

    By the way, what do you call a brown belt who failed his black belt promotion after 8 years of hard work, training, and practice?

    You're either a graduate or a wash out, which thread do you want to post on?

    I do not see how shouting motivates anyone (may it scares them). In my last company a new manager took over a really good team of engineers on a very important project. He demanded the impossible and yelled at them like a drill sargeant; result everyone moved to other teams. A week later he was history.

    Hey Abner,

    I have been working for the past four years to finish my BA, and I still have about three semesters to go. In hindsight I guess I didn't take the fastest or easiest way, but I know all of the hard work will eventually pay off. I would love to be in your position: one class away from an MBA.

    Remember, nothing worth doing is easy. You can do it.

    What the hell is wrong you. Quit posting these threads and devote more time to finish your MBA. There are many who are digging through trash in the streets, begging for food, and unable to barely feed their children. Yet here you are bitching about " I need a hug.. rub my head like the tender kitty I am". Aww poor thing. Finish that shit and stop whining like a little girl.


    If you need more motivation.. just send me a pm.... :D http://www.ascendgence.com/pimpthisbum/index.aspx

    Your broheim,
