“This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.”

Do I find a corollary with this and our state of being at ISB at this moment? Even with the current state of the job market, nothing has ended. But it is the end of the starting year of a new life, new dreams and aspirations. I would like to think that is the case.

Incidentally, this was said by Winston Churchill after the 2nd Battle of El-alamein, which finally stopped the Axis expansion into Africa and finished off Rommell and his Afrika Corps. Very powerful.
