Hi Everyone,
My name is Szymon (it's easier to call me Simon) and I live in Poland. I will be 21 next month.
My life is kinda weird, since I've been stuck with bad attitudes for quite a while. It got twisted a year ago, and now I'm trying to figure out what to do with it.
I'll try to say something about myself as briefly as I can.
Background
I've always been a passionate guy, wanting to live my life to the fullest. When I was very young, I was the best in English, I've started learning it when I was 6, and at the age of 8 I have attended to classes with a lot older children (like 13-15 or so, teenagers). I knew a lot about computers, and my father and I were repairing it for our neighbours for cash.
When I was 18, I've done a few things that were HUGE for me at that time.
The first thing - I went to my first job as a telesales person. The second - for money that I've earned I went to the USA, to New York, thus making my dream of going there a reality. But I've been there only for a while, just to do some sightseeing. The third thing - I've bought a grey Mercedes W124. And it wasn't the end of it, because at the end of the year I've started my own association (NGO). The association is working towards improving the quality of life for teenagers in my city. I've had a lot of contact with business people and government people. I was giving lectures about personal goals, achieving your dreams, generally slowlane stuff that I haven't even practiced yet, only heard of.
Few months later I have started my university education and... I quit it after a year, because it was so irrelevant (my field of studies was called International Business and it had nothing to do with business). I was doing good there, but it was just stupid and I knew it. After that I have got a job as an marketing assistant for a big company operating in many countries abroad. Long story short - I've got really unlucky, the company started going broke. At that time I was giving private English lessons for years, and I continue doing it. But it's just a small cash, nothing really great. And I had to sell my car, so now I ride a bike or go anywhere by bus. As a car guy it's really saddening for me.
I went back to telesales, but this company started to reduce salaries. So I went unemployed, got a certificate in English, but it didn't help in anything.
And now, I'm trying to figure out anything that will bring me money and happiness, I have my association, but it's a non-profit, I can't get any profit from it. I mean, nothing that I know of. I love talking to people, I love cars, I know English and Polish well. I learn a bit about marketing and sales, since I've been doing things connected to it.
I hope the post isn't too big. My personal story is quite complicated 😀.
I love The Fastlane Forum and the book because both of them give me hope for a better life. Maybe I will find something that will help me get it. Thank You MJ and all of You!
