Having a close friend or business partner/coworker tell you a bite-ing criticism is tough to do, and take!... but the learning effects can be invaluable. I'm still not sure I'm able to take a personal C without attacking/defending with full force but hopefully if there's one thing I take from this MBA it's the ability to accept business criticism. Thanks to all tonight that participated in the open discussion (extremely valuable for the future) and a double thanks/congrats on the impressive acceptance by those that had C's leveled against them. I hope you also take the value from these discussions as well as we did, in fact just by the classy way in which you accepted these C's showed how well you are able to listen and absorb contradictory ideas and opinions.

Cudos to you, seriously!
