A Little Perspective

I never get around to posting on here, but read the homepage threads each morning/evening on my commute.

I've been extremely stressed this past month getting ready for the CFA exam this weekend, and came across this blog post written by a friend of a friend that gave me some good perspective on both my career and life.

I thought some of you may be able to relate to the article, or may just enjoy the read. Also, good luck to everyone else taking the Level I exam on Saturday!
