It's so true to think that you should trust no one but yourself, and ok, maybe your spouse.

The professor played sick mind games with us during monday and tuesday of the bioentrepreneurship course. When the results of the games are taken into consideration of your actual course grades, things get dirty. The person whom you think you know, transforms into another person, or rather he/she will show the ugly side that you have never seen. Everyone wants to do well. Who doesn't? The difference is that NOT everyone wants to do well at the expense of other people (unless you hate those people).

It's quite BS when the prof says that the game will show who is the true entrepreneur, i.e. who will dare to be different from others. I think the game more effectively showed who has less integrity than others, who is willing to succeed by making others fail. It's so ironic, because we did an activity before the game to write down the characteristics of an entrepreneur, and one of the characteristic is INTEGRITY.

I think in the real world, you can succeed for the time being by doing 'backdoor' things like sucking up to your leaders, by trying to make others look bad etc, but you cannot succeed forever by doing this. The most successful entrepreneurs are honest and kind people who really want to make a difference in lives of other people.
