When it comes to success in business, an MBA degree is optional. But a GSD, which is only earned by Getting Stuff Done, is required.
Interestingly, a good undergraduate program does a lot of what an MBA does. I think a really good undergraduate program and some work experience is just about the equal of an MBA.
An MBA is a great degree for career paths like investment banking, finance, consulting, and large companies. An MBA is not necessarily the right path for starting a tech company. You should be building a prototype, not getting an MBA in that case.
I'm not impressed by people's degrees. Harvard doesn't impress me, Yale doesn't impress me, Columbia doesn't impress me.
That's how writing works, at least for me: even the stuff that doesn't work out gets funneled into the stuff that does work out.
Amy: I had something I wanted to tell him. Stuff always gets in the way. Canton: Stuff does that.
What gets measured gets done, what gets measured and fed back gets done well, what gets rewarded gets repeated
Donald Trump is a guy that's gets stuff done. If he says he's gonna do something, he does it. He doesn't worry about it. He's got thick skin. He's gonna do it. He's gonna bring jobs back.

It's interesting to play a politician who gets stuff done.

Things don't really impress me. Memories impress me. It's not the toys, it's the people.
There's a lot of dark horror, and a lot of sci-fi fantasy that's great, but what gets hyped a lot the big stuff. The most expensive stuff gets hyped a lot, and I love it, don't get me wrong, but there's things that fall through the cracks.
I've been a fan since I was a kid of that sort of bump-in-the-night stuff. I don't tend to go in too much for the slash-and-burn-'em or the walker kills on 'The Walking Dead.' That stuff's not necessarily the stuff that frightens me or gets me going. It's more the terror of waiting, the thriller aspects, that I find compelling.
