What's one thing that felt unattainable to you then wasn't?

[Antarr_999]

It could be a goal, a state of mind , an experience, could be financial, emotional... why did it feel so frustrating for you and how would you describe the moment before it finally happened for you

Writing a novel. When I was at school teachers always told me I wasn't good enough and that I would never achieve great things in this country because I didn't know the language very well and some even told me that I expressed concepts in a confused manner and that was simply because I used words that were different to the book. When I finished school though and my father was diagnosed with brain cancer I had this urge to write. And I did, in English. The swallow manor adventures was the first book I wrote and self published. It was freeing and my insecurities started to disappear from that moment on because I seriously started to work on myself.

That I can drive a car. Now I love driving.

[Antarr_999]

I had that feeling once in the past, then I started taking out my brothers car at night secretly and teaching myself lol

[midnightmoon05]

I did the same 😂 except it was day time when he was napping. I stole his car and went out for joy rides.
He taught me how to drive 😊

I never thought I would graduate from college. i lost my scholarship and had to drop out. A couple, of years later I went to a different college and after 3 years had to drop, out again because i ran out of money. Finally I went to another college part time at night. The company where I worked would pay for it. I was in my 30s when I finally graduated. Then the next September I started graduate school.

Financial independence. I will likely never need to work a traditional job again, and I don't consider what i do now to be work. I made all the right investments, which I admit involved a lot of good fortune, but here I am. I'm going anon on this just because I don't want to be miscategorized as one of the rich guys who is a problem with what's wrong in my country.

[Antarr_999]

Congratulations :) Did you initially fund your investments from your traditional job?

[Opinion Owner]

Yes, and I had some generational wealth help out too. But basically, I just made the right picks at the right time.

Are you interested in Crypto by any chance?

[Opinion Owner]

No, I don't need to be interested in it. I play the games I understand. I don't like crypto.

Getting a doctoral degree felt like a long steep exhausting climb that I nevertheless enjoyed.
