Yesterday I discovered what I don't want to do with my life. I was at the annual CFA (Certified Financial Adviser) of Los Angeles meeting to present an econ presentation, and I decided that not only do I not want to be a financial officer, but I also don't want to do anything that leaves me without a life that I feel like I used. They talked about one of their founding members, a guy named Stan, who had recently passed away. He sounded like a nice guy, but no one had much to say about him, other than that he was very nice, they were glad they'd worked with him, and they wished they'd worked with him more. But basically, no one who spoke about him, none of his colleauges, had anything worthwhile to say. I don't want to do great things and I don't want to be beloved by all or anything, but I just hope that when I die there'll be at least some people who really know me.
