When I was 25, I was working for a company that I absolutely hated. I needed inspiration to do anything, I would set up 4 alarms before actually getting out of bed. One would be at 4:00am, then at 5:00am, then at 5.30am and finally at 6.00am. The first three weren't for me to wake [...]
In my quest to become a CFA Charterholder, I have often had to spend long hours of studying with my cousin, who is way much older than me and absolutely brilliant. So one night we were studying and I was failing to grasp some concept, this is very late into the night after a long [...]
