Hi All!
First of all, I'm a 22 year old and I currently live in São Paulo, Brazil.
About my professional life: I'm at the last semester in Civil Engineer in a top school here in Brazil. Worked my a$$ off for 6 months at the Investment Banking division in an American buldge Bracket (better not to disclose this lol), which I came to hate and despise after some months. I'm currently working on a Civil engineering (bridges, highways and others) project company but I'm currently lost in a midlife crisis. Actually, a pre-graduation crisis, if I may.
How I've got to know the entrepeneur way and the Fastlane:
It all started with Rich dad Poor dad, yes I know it's not the ideal book but it did start an idea.
And like the quote form Nolan's Inception: "An idea is like a virus, resilient, highly contagious". And so I started to open my eyes where real wealth is created. So my search have begun!
After reading a lot of books about finance, wealth building, motivational stuff and others, I decided to give this book a chance and you know what, I loved it!
The book describes a lot my opinion on the rat race and life in general. I used to get so mad with how life and society pays hard working people poorly and I did'nt know how that happens.
So here am I with this "I'm graduating, what to do with my life?" crisis and I won't rest until I find the way to freedom and living my craziest dreams. There must be a way. I'll never get where I want being an engineer in a multibillion company, nor slaving my life at an Investment Bank.
Thanks for MJ for opening my eyes a lot more!
And I hope to learn a lot here!
