Luck may bring a great idea to your doorstep, but to be successful you must see the opportunity and be smart enough to take advantage of it. A business degree can't make you successful. But it can prepare you to recognize opportunities when they arise and give you the confidence to pursue them. And, the education that you have gained will help you interpret the tell-tale signs of success and failure as you journey through your lives. Schools try to teach people how to be successful, but they rarely teach people how to fail.
Failure is a part of life.
Babe Ruth failed 1,330 times by striking out at the plate, but he also hit 714 home runs. R.H. Macy had seven business failures before his New York department store was successful. And K-State football speaks for itself. In fact, we probably learn more from failure than from success. Don't be embarrassed by failure, embrace it.
