A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about some things that I simply couldn't understand. Well, I found something else to add to that list.
I recently read about an "academic" rite in a certain school that involves jumping from a 30 foot height to prove one's willingness to take risks. My friend was outraged by the practice. Personally, I have no qualms about jumping 30 feet, but I don't understand how it could be a requirement for graduation.
The rationale for the high jump is this: the willingness to jump 30 feet into a pool of water equates to the willingness to take risks, and therefore, the ability to become a great entrepreneur. This reasoning, mind you, comes from the same people who refuse to admit females into the program because they naturally have better entrepreneurial skills than males do. I am amazed, I am boggled, I am... I don't know. Their logic is just way beyond my comprehension.
