A LETTER OF PARTING

It has been a long time since I have written, and I don't intend on letting my creative juices flow now either since I have my Final exams of Term 2 right around the corner, but I couldn't help but post this wonderful mail which our Economics professor wrote to us right before he left back to the US.



Dear Students:

Thanks for your kindness during the last session (and indeed all the sessions)! It has been a pleasure interacting with you and it was your intellectual curiosity that added spark to the course.


I am sure I will read about you soon in the papers as great examples of people who harnessed the market for social good as much as for profits. Meanwhile, question everything. Defy conventional wisdom. Buck the trend. Read the less known novelist. Watch the movie without stars. Listen to the less famous person. What you encounter might enlighten you, entertain you, and even change your life!

Cheers,

XXX
