Business School: What I feel like I'm lacking

Hello Hello,

Yesterday was a April fools day, and a fool I was.  I seem to be spreading myself out too thin lately, physically and emotionally, but I was really fortunate to have listen Dr. Vuylsteke talk about Americans working abroad in China, and really work in general.  

It really got me thinking that as a business student, what can I really do? Spreadsheets, simple modeling, t charts?  I've been worried this past year about that I'm learning in B-school, all the hard skills that most business kids know now a-days, I feel like I don't know.  I'm not cutting-edge, and I really don't know what I'm going to do.  It's never too late to learn they say, but I just feel like I'm way too behind.  

The one thing he focus on wasn't these hard skills, well besides that most people in business wish they knew more accounting, but rather soft skills and interpersonal skills.  I feel like there is where I can excel at, because 1. I think because I can control my nervousness, and being quick on my feet speaking and communication comes easy, 2. I can easily relate to people, and 3. I really am kind of that typical person, or maybe broad interests kind of guy.  I think if I can maintain these skills or traits, that business maybe wasn't a bad choice for me after all.  

I wonder if anyone else has had the major panic-scare?
