@Kunjan - It's hard to explain man... All along, you have this feeling, that you are GOOD. Call it your 'residual self image' (a la The Matrix). But the moment it gets shattered from the most unexpected of ways, it does shake you up. Brings you right down to earth.
Basically, I thought that I would make a good manager. Probably a great manager. And I formed that impression by looking at the people around me. Sure I know smart people, good people. Some of my friends, some family. Sure they are smart and intelligent. But it's only after coming here that I realized that I had not seen that many great people after all. And that somehow altered my Residual Self Image.
Well, thats the leveler I was talking about. No perticular example thought. Just that, some people in my class are so good, that I have started respecting them. I have actually started looking up to some of them!

I get it now. And I kinda understand what you mean by relating it with my own personal experiences. You would know that I am still with this "I am good....in fact very good" image about myself in the surrouding here. But at the same time, I also feel that when I reach a place where everyone around is on a different level (call them better), I would raise myself to another level (something I have not otherwise thought about my capabilities) and that is whwhy they say "IIMs get the best out of you!"
