On my way to my place I stopped off at a diner. In this diner I decided to talk to the people that so dedicatedly served me at 2am on a Wednesday night. Many people have hopes and dreams and goals, from the young immigrant going to community college and the old lady struggling to survive longing for her childhood memories of distant Greece.
The question I had been struggling with is where do I necessarily fit in this picture. In the global sense, how do I connect with these people that make up America. It then occurred to me that my interest in finance could actually benefit them. If I were to become a fund manager, I could make the dreams and hopes of the wealthy and not so wealthy come true. If I consistently beat the market and knew how to manage risks well. The Greek retirement and decent grad school could be realized.
In this I found that by learning about those that I don't talk to on a day to day basis lends to some self realizations.
