[Assam] Harvard MBA Newsletter: Michael Porter on ReformingHealthcare; India Arrives on the Global Stage ??

Wed Jun 7 08:15:16 PDT 2006

Certainly not mine.

Admission to or graduation from even the most elite and/or exclusive 
of institutions do not NECESSARILY mean one is either accomplished, 
or able or even above average . One could be highly accomplished in 
one area, while being below average or thoroughly incompetent in 
another aspect of life.

I would submit we don't need to go far for proofs.
