I've read "The Millionaire Fastlane " about 2 years ago. Back then i didn't think much about this book. Sure it was interesting lecture, but it was so different from what my family and parents taught me(both of them are doctors) that i looked at this book almost like a sci-fi movie.
Back then i imagined that i would finish highschool, go to university and then find a regular job at big company where my boss would pay me decent salary for working 8 hours a day, just like my parents did. From that time i've experience both 9-5 job(for a few months) and being a student at university. Because of these things along with my growth as a person i realised how wrong that way of thinking was. I realised that i don't want easy or simple life. I was the happiest when i struggled(learning new skills, going to the gym for 15 hours a week, you name it). The only way i felt happiness in my entire life was when i was working hard towards something both difficult and meaningful for me.
Right now I'm studying business and i hate it. What I'm doing right is as far from what i said about happiness as it gets. The courses are too easy to pass(studying takes me less than 10 hours/semester) and syllabus is designed to make ma employee(becoming one would mean facing the same problems as i face right now until the end of my life). My intention is not to complain about my current situation, only to explain why i am looking for different way of living my life.
I am ready to do whatever it takes to make better future for myself and my family. The only thing i don't have is experience and idea where to start, thats why i joined this forum. I won't limit my reaserch to lurking The Fastlane Forum threads. I'll read books, articles and talk to people to find what i can do to live my life the way i want to. I hope that this forum will help me find a way to better life and that, with experiance i will gain over time, someday i too will be able to help somebody here escape the rat race.
I hope someday i will help you guys as much as MJ DeMarco's book helped me.
