I think it was Tom Peters who said that, and with all intend and purposes, I will follow what(ever) he said; or for that matter, whatever he is saying – or will say.
I am literally at the turn of my career. I have been doing pretty much ‘serious jobs’ in the past, and now intend to embark on a more ‘hip’ career. So I thought.
Personally, I have been avoiding mentor or role model, both in personal and professional life. Today, I have found what it looks like my first, new spiritual mentor. It kind of cool, to think that you have finally found a person – serendipitily, of whom that you thought will be worthy of following. Or at least someone to look up to.
On professional line, Tom Peters is one of so many candidates I look up to. In addition to Greg Mankiw, Jagdish Bhagwati, James Tobin, and Umer Chapra. The list can be a long and depressing one – if you know what I mean.
So, I guess this urge to ‘blog for my life’ would be sort of endeavor to identify my real professional mentor. Probably it would force me to dig deeper into the candidates’ pocket and brain, and you will find them one at a time.***
