My desire to reinvent myself every 3-4 years is partially a result of my very esoteric and excentric genetic predisposition. But it's also the result of getting educated beyond my intellect and reading too much. Especially about german philosophers and renegade losers turned authors turned dead. When my buddies at b-school dived deeper into the abyss of financial economics, my choice was always sideways. I took random courses in pre-doctorate Theory of Science as well as Art History and Japanese. Konichiwa Watakushi-wa Per, desu.
The desire to become a modern Renaissance Man has always lured under this handsome precense. It still does, but it takes at least a few years to get a positive ROI on any investment of new skills. So while everyone is thinking of building equity in real estate I'm always focused on how to grow my mental estate. It all goes back to what you'd like to leave as your life's legacy. Use your mind but follow your heart.
