Or something more innocuous but nonetheless unethical like world's greatest pickpocket? Or maybe something legal like the CEO of Monsanto or Nike or dictator of some country somewhere? Would people find that endearing or inspirational? The difference is he's calling himself "scum" for effect. Just because the guy is going to work for a company that makes smart investments doesn't mean he's going to steal everyone's money. FFS people. OP, I don't see why you are so hard on yourself about everything. It's so much better to be optimistic about your abilities or else you form mental barriers. | ||

I mean, if all the OP wants is to excel at something, to be passionate about it, blabla... why not pick something good/useful ? Like, he could do research in medicine, become a hero firefighter, or a musician, or make beautiful handmade knives, like this guy ?? I dunno, there are SO much good to do in this world if you're willing to work a lot... why pick trading? | ||

Overall your post looks like kid that just hyped himself and found reality beside fantasy. That's normal for me and u had to do a post with history of it. | ||

I don't think it's possible for someone to simply pick a field that they believe is of particular worth to society and apply themselves to it. The OP has apparently found his passion. He can't simply take the inspiration and motivation that he's feeling right now and use it to fuel the fight against cancer or what have you. Passion doesn't work like that - you've gotta' focus on that unique feeling that you get when involved in a particular thing and follow it. Best of luck OP, invest every part of yourself into what it is you want to do. Don't let this post become nothing more than the result of fleeting and spontaneous motivation - make it reality. | ||

I hope there is no "next financial crisis", and we can prevent the people who cause them. | ||
