I never realized I talk about connecting dots more than a normal man does. A friend of mine made me aware of that. The startling question he posed was ‘Do MBAs have a fetish for connecting dots?’
Well I was like ‘Excuse me’. That’s an over generalization and I was never aware I was using that word so frequently. Well it’s nothing about sounding stylish, classy or sexy at all. It’s just a desire to know the truth. But as in life every things depends on your perception. When I told one of my MBA friend about my interests of moving towards consultancy, his only remark was ‘Wow consultancy sounds so sexy’. Duh?
But the thing here is about knowing the gaps and articulating facts and information so that it makes sense. And my nature says, either you have the full picture or there is no picture at all. It bugs me up big time when I can’t figure out the relation between things that matters to me. Two of my friends, one in China and one here in US were sharing comments in facebook and I had no freaking idea how they both know each other. Of course they never talk to me about each other. Now that bugs me up. And for me, to find out how they know each other is connecting the dots. There are numerous such scenarios everyday.
So Basically for me its more of a curiosity to know the truth rather than sounding stylish or sexy. And yeah, I have a fetish for knowing the truth.
