In the first term of my MBA, I was a bit disappointed by the number of general lectures rather than smaller-scale seminars,
在MBA课程的第一个学期,我对一般课堂而非小范围研讨的节数有点失望,
even though I'd been warned in advance that this would be the case.
虽然我之前就知道会是这样。
I had a choice between a course specializing in law and one which offered lots of modules on Finance.
我要在法律课程和一个提供多种金融单元的课程中做选择。
I opted for the latter. It was really a matter of self-discipline -- I was always bad at it, so I thought I'd better do something about that.
我选择了后者。这其实是自律的问题—我这方面总是很差,所以我认为我最好是在这方面提高一下。
We spent far less time on personnel matters, but ironically, I've got a lot more out of those sessions.
我在人事问题上花的时间非常少,但是讽刺的是,我从那些研讨中收获很多。
I suppose what I'm saying is that the course has helped me to be more realistic about where my strengths and weaknesses lie.
我认为我所说的是这门课程帮助我更加现实地认清了我的优势和弱势。
I seldom have anything to do with the financial side of things now.
现在我的工作很少涉及金融方面的事务。
