The
world changes fast. But not fast enough (yet) that it is not worth modelling
where you would like to be on a few people who went from (a) roughly where you
are now, to (b) roughly where you want to be. Opening your ears to case
studies. “The world isn’t fair. If it was, you’d be much worse off”, a friend
of mine tells his kids. We can’t all plug the same destination into our financial
GPS. We can map our point of ignorance, and develop skills and knowledge. I was
good at exams. A disciplined studier and ruthless time manager. Talking to
people made me think “hard but possible” was a great competitive advantage. In
the box thinking. The hard box. I studied a 4-year Business Science degree at
the University of Cape Town. I then kept the momentum with work and study doing
three professional qualifications. A lot of this was mapping to people ahead of
me. Do I want to do what they do? My eventual answer, was no. I map bits of
various people. Channelling them as I need to. Accepting that life is a bit of
a game of alternative realities. The combination of destinations is my own.
