Hello everyone,
I am currently reading the Millionaire Fastlane and I thought it would be a good idea to read some stories here so I could get inspired or have new ideas.
I really would like to thank the author for this amazing book, I've read a few about becoming wealthy and it is definitely the most interesting and eye-opening. Sometimes I would read a book about slowlaning and I would become even more unmotivated than before. Now I understand why.
It freed me from feeling guilty about having ambitious goals, and made me realize I was not the only one !
About me ; I am currently 9 years after graduating high school, in the middle of surgery residency. It can be really hard and even if patient's gratefulness is sometimes great, it's clearly not enough for me to be happy all my life, I think. It's a slavery. It was a big deception for me when I realized this. I worked hard at university to get there and I thought it was for having a cool life, and I kind of had a disillusion that left me a bit depressed. Every step is like " don't worry, the hard work is now, but if you pass it, you'll be quiet for life " but the reality is, it always get harder in some way, especially in France where work conditions for doctors deteriorated in the last 20-30 years.
I still want to finish my surgeon training because I invested so much time and energy in it, I would never be able to quit. But now I start to think that may be I will never settle as a surgeon. This new look on life also relieved the career pressure and made me able to get more fun about this job (because it can really be, and I would really recommend it for someone passionate enough).
The difficulty will be to start building my income vehicle parallel to my studies, and finish it when I'm done, but I'm strongly motivated.
I grew up next to Marseille in the south France, had to leave to Dijon (in Burgundy, where's there's a lot of fog, great food and awesome wines) to start my residency. I would happy to discuss about it with anybody interested.
I read a lot of books about different topics, one of my favourite is Psychology ; I really think that anything can be learned and that's why I'm here.
Sorry for my english, thanks for reading this and see you in interesting threads
