ORBR Case Analysis Section1 GroupD1
Introduction:
“Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground”. This quote by Theodore Roosevelt has been the source of inspiration for each one of us in our group. After reading the case: “Life stories of Recent MBAs: Motivations”, we were motivated to work harder, serve the community and learn to handle more complex situations rather than choosing the easy way out. Among the six characters described in the case, the character that had the maximum impact on all of us was Monica Chi.
Reasons for motivation:
We believe that we have been able to accomplish in various sectors like studies, job and sports mainly because of the motivation that originated from our parents. Thus, we are able to connect to the fact that the driving force behind Monica Chi’s success was primarily her parents.
Monica’s parents emphasized on the importance of being down-to-earth and humble during times of success. They taught her not to feel entitled and to have gratitude for each one of the opportunities in her life. While learning and growth were huge motivating factors in her life, humility continued to be a fundamental quality. This characteristic shown by Monica coincides with the inspirational quote stated by us in the beginning.
Incidents involving hard work and sacrifices made by her parents motivated her to succeed. These incidents encouraged her to follow the same path as her parents and make them proud of her accomplishments. Coming from a country where culture and heritage blend in with our activities, our elders have always focused on the importance of values. So, we are able to associate our sentiments with Monica’s when she tells about how her parents focused on holding onto certain values even if they showed deviations from the mainstream.
Monica feels that working with great colleagues on meaningful work is more important than money and promotions. Each of our actions are triggered by the satisfaction we get from them. They are remotely dependent on money. Here
