|I came from AskReddit in the latest wave approximately 40 days ago. Me too! :)
You've got a life full of-- well, life! I aspire to enter investment banking, and I once had a meeting with the PM (leader, basically) of a $2 billion hedgefund in NYC. I told him about all my ambitions and plans, and after a few minutes of me spilling my dreams, he cut me off. And he said "Stop looking ahead. Stop planning. Figure yourself out first. Find your interests, all your interests, and act on them. All of them. Fail at all of them, I don't care. But know that you did them, and go as far as you can in everything that you can. In that way, you will end up where you need to be." Always keep that with me now, and I find myself branching out to interests and activites I never thought I'd be involved in :)
