i got upset yesterday and had this negative vibe because i had to do something not related to the cfa but to my masters. i had to read 120 pages of soft skill material about how managers use positive reinforcement tools. what a waste of time human resources is… (did not mean to make hr-people on this board upset with me, but i truly think that it is a waste of time).

of course we are the best. havent you ever seen the results that we post after the exams??? we have a 95% pass rate. actually Swaption, that was one of the best posts i have read in a while.
I know this is wrong and i feel really bad about it sometimes. Sometimes at work I have to motivate myself so that when I finish I am ready to get started on my studying. On my way back home I am think and repeating in my head simple stuff like “I have got to do this” or “have come too far to quit now” and maybe twitching a little every now and then. I get home and hit the books, get a reasonable amount of work done. Nice ending to a good day. Then you have those days: really stressful and long day at work, you know you need to take a break but can’t afford to, so you motivate yourself a little harder. On my way back home I am walking briskly think and repeating in my head (and maybe my lips move with the thoughts) simple stuff like “I have got to do this” or “have come too far to quit now” and maybe twitching a little more then normal. Then in the overcrowded underground your brisk walking comes to a halt and you are forced to walk slowly behind some old women who you just cant overtake to continue at your own pace. This is when the ramblings of “I have got to do this” or “have come too far to quit now” in my head completely changes to somewhat of a violent nature. I get so pissed off at similar small things these days.

I wanted to push her right in front of the moving train and crush her to death. (with all due respect, not!)
you know the test is near when people go soft on AF… you probably will be fine, and you know it, but it bothers you when people say this because you know you will be fine because of all the work you’ve put in, not because “itll just work out”. most people think they are at capacity, even when they aren’t. they think you are taking a cpa because everybody knows what a cpa is, the relative obscurity of the cfa is part of its value. don’t get too high up on yourself just because you are putting in a lot of work, some people are going through real problems in their life- not just whether or not they will pass a test

Oh it’s just a test. How hard could it be? Relax. Come on, we’ll go for some beer and you’ll feel a whole lot better.
That’s my friends and family to me, btw - not me to you!
