why I *love* Harvard Business School!

[Setting: TF office hours, HBS, management something or other...]

HBS twit: So, I've been giving lots of thougths on some future career directions, and I want your opinion on them. What about mergers & acquisitions?

TF [PhD candidate]: "Well, if I were someone of your talent, I'd have to look myself in the mirror at the end of the day and ask if I'm truly happy that, in my job, I made the market a little more efficient today."

HBS twit: "Really? I was thinking I'd look myself in the mirror at the end of the day and note, my, how nicely those gold, monogramed cufflinks look on me."
