Favorite Quote: "I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me." - Newton

If I won $10M, I would... Scale back on work but continue, spend some time traveling, continue education - probably towards finance. Make a plan to invest + sustainably use the assets.

My SMC MBA:Imprinted in me the general interest for business and economics. I still continue to read the WSJ and HBR. I believe it was transformational and turned my thinking from technical to business terms.
