You
would think that the top law firm in the US, and in the entire world for that
matter, which is the law firm of Baker & McKenzie, will be run by graduates
of the top law school in the US, which is Harvard Law School. But no, not one
of the seven (7) members of the said law firm's Executive Committee came from
Harvard.

Baker & McKenzie Executive Commitee:
It
just goes to show that as long as you attended a good school (even if it is not
world-famous), and as long as you yourself are very capable and focused, then you
can rise to the top. Perhaps at the beginning of your career (i.e., right after
you graduate from college), you will be discriminated against if you did not
graduate from one of the "ivy league" schools -- But that is only at
the beginning. In the long run, if you persist in doing your best, you will
eventually overcome the discrimination and emerge victorious.
And
by the way, if you happen to be religiously inclined, then it also most certainly helps
to pray. :-)
