Probably the most annoying thing to be prepared in quest of graduate study is the statement of purpose (SoP). It's a long writing about the objective continuing study to next level, and will be different to each University applied. In other words, each application should also contain a different SoP.
But guest what, the searching of high quality SoP bring me to realization that reading an SoP is actually reading someone's life. It's simply just a short biography of life, most likely a half of a chapter, which elaborate the purpose of our study and also every stories which connected to it.
Me, my self will see it as a statement of life. It's a story of where God had taken me, and His presence nowadays, and also the future in His hands. Quoting the great Steve Job: "It's about connecting the dots". Whatever happens in our life is actually given for preparing for greater good in the future.
I always get confused, there was a 3 years missing in my life. It is when I focused my self in Choral music. Enjoying myself in the ecstasy current of being a conductor of choirs. I then realized, I waste a lot of times to do something which not support my future goals,
The next thing happens is I'm studying business management. And it's all about management, it's about leadership. Voila! I met this word before. A company is no different than a choir. Every aspects describe essential leadership in each body. Then something comes up in my mind, probably God put me in a music choir to learn a perfect leadership. Conductor, however, is an example of perfect leadership.
Why don't I postulate theories which link leadership theory and music conducting theories.
Why don't I dig it deep the movement of music, as the movement in a company it's self.
Orchestrating, music, leadership, management, conducting, theories, I absolutely can link them.
