The moment we decided that we were to take up CFA, we knew it was a long and tough journey.
Sometimes we might need some extra motivation or a pat on the back to keep us going on this journey. For those that are currently going on this gruesome journey, what motivates you to keep pressing on? Where do you find the energy to push yourself the extra mile?
Also for those who eventually became a charteredholder, where did you find the strengh the make it through the whole thing?
As for myself, most of my motivation comes from reading this forum and other related CFA posts on the internet, about how they made it, how others helped them on the road.
So let’s share our experience and give each of those wanderers on this tough journey an extra push!
Thoughts of making more money and getting a corner office = living more comfortably = eventually get a nicer home = can afford a *much*nicer car = naturally attract more beautiful women = getting laid by the best = gravitate towards better dealers, etc.
In a way related to what Ramos has said. Loss of pride if I fail and the feeling of surprising everyone including myself when the email started with CONGRATULATIONS:)
And no spoilers, yes I failed band 10 in 2013 - I think I required that knock on the head to keep my feet grounded to be brutally frank.
