Sometimes easy questions aren't so easy to answer. The HBS Class of 2003 was asked by a fellow classmate just such a question, which came from the last line of a poem by Pulitzer-Prize winning writer, Mary Oliver. People were nominated to participate by others in their section and 30 responded with inspiring answers that show the diversity of the class. The question was simple, and only 200 words were requested. But some people took almost a year to respond. So, why did so many people find it such a challenge? Well, you tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?
