"I’m convinced that being a world-class learner is much more important to your success in business (and in life) than having any kind of advanced degree. In fact, I become more sure every day that the ability to learn quickly and deeply is the single most important skill for the 21st century. Someone who’s a great learner will take best and fullest advantage of time spent in business school – but he or she will also take best and fullest advantage of all the circumstances and resources available to him or her every day. The key is that ability to learn – it’s like a continuously revving engine of growth. I actually wish there was another word for it – ‘learning’ has such boring, schoolroom-ish connotations as a word. How about mastery? Maybe we should call such people masters of mastery." - Erika Anderson "Why Spending $150K On An MBA is Probably a Dumb Idea"
