Is an MBA necessary to succeed in life?

To properly answer this question, a person first needs to to define what "success" means to them as an individual- material gain? having an impact on society? a well-balanced professional and personal life? etc. etc.

As a business school admissions consultant that works with a global client base, I see too many candidates thinking an MBA is the key to success, when it is simply a stepping stone along the path to fulfilling your professional objectives. Clearly defined life goals, be they professional or personal are what brings success.

Hi to all, doing MBA, Engineering or CA, are any other degree. Is the same. It all depends on his / her willing.

Any person can become a well shine in life, when he/she does the things which he likes in is life.

So, think BIG, Follow it and the success will be at your feet.

My best wishes to me and for all.

Thanks.

Hi friends, MBA is good course to learn by every person, because it tells about how lead in life. It tells about how to manage our plans and how to lead our business. MBA is a course which is having practical thinking and practical doing about the subject. Every one likes it because it is close to our daily life. I think this very important course for a student who wants to enjoy studying.

Hi I have done my MBA last year now I feel much more confident and satisfied. I always wanted to pursue a higher education but lacked monetary support so when I got a job from that next month I started the MBA course during the 2yr time I had a major accident but I per sued my will and last year was a great time when I received the degree. I am really happy it did not turn to reward in terms of higher pay by my employer but still I have no regrets I got more respect by friends my relatives. Good luck to all who believe in their dreams of doing MBA or CA or any other course its your choice man. Its your life live it on your own terms. Bye.

Hi everyone,

According to me MBA is a Brushing up tool for the peoples who have the quality of leading others. It also helpful to others who don't possess quality of thinking analytically it develops attitude and quality of thinking analytically and logically.

There many peoples who don't have the MBA degree but also they are successful businessman.

I think a bookish knowledge of 2 yr MBA program would serve no food, what matters is the right attitude and instead d correct vision one aims to be along with sustained hard work would lead a successful life. MBA would only be useful to those who not only have ability to grasp/understand management principles but also the confidence of Implementing the practices of management along with their daily lives.

For eg, As we know the most basic activities which a manager should possess are :Leading the subordinates, Motivating them time to time, Using the most suitable tactics, Increasing the organisation's prosperity, Professionalism, Positive attitude towards work and above all, acting smart at the right time is most important, a MBA degree would surely not serve the purpose! YOU have to have those qualities in you in real. !

I am not a manager but a leader, and I don't hold a MBA degree/diploma. I don't have to be a manager to make other employees work; I just have to be a good human being. I love to lead a pack of hungry wolves, and get the job done - in time, and of high-quality. The kind of determination and concentration you require in order to achieve your goal isn't something which you'll learn from experiences of a MBA institute's cafeteria. That you will learn when you really put your heart and soul in your work. Everyone cries for more money, more incentives, more of everything - but work.

This is to all those crying babies who need a nappy change every hour - real personalities aren't born in Harvards or IIMs, they are just too good to be associated with a mere brand! Real personalities have a character, have a soul, and above all have a God watching over them. They don't run after success; nor do they chase degrees. They simply live and let others live. So strive hard to be a good leader, because my friend, everyone is already managing something or the other.

What good would you do to the society by becoming a good manager anyways? When you want to bring about a change, it is easier to change a process rather than change a group of people, because people never change. For example, Pakistanis and Chinese politicians can never change, but India's foreign policy can! I'll leave that debate for some other forum.

MBA will never make you star on the planet, it is just drop of ocean, drop can not feel ocean but told lesson that change. It means not change whole world, change in inner thinking and external behaviour. Regularity, unity of your thoughts and emotions. Don't run like disabled ass runs in racing. Run like a bullet he never knows where he kills or salute someone.

I think MBA is more important want to success in life if any person start an own business they get the knowledge about strategy, market, product, price etc. How the enter the market which strategy are using like market, place promotion and others. How the attract the customer and market evaluation which type of product customer need, want and desire.

MBA which tells you how to manage yourself with this society and others so I think it may be best for everyone. After this you will understand the strategy of the society or humans.
