Banks/investment firms must have been one of those places anyone trained in finances would at a point in time look forward/wish to join. The glamous, the achievements, and the bits about making money and doing everything like the books equip us to have. So to read the details of them collapsing, and see photos of people packing up and leaving, you wonder about the cores/anchors/uncertainities in life. Am I glad that I dont have to worry about if I still have my job tomorrow, yes I am.

And then I again wonder if age (or ignorance) has anything to do with my courage (or stubborn-ness) in the decisions I made/will make. Like traveling alone. Like operating beyond my limits. Like doing what I inherently like, say laze at home, than whats necessary to maintain a normal, social life.

Still, and regardless right or wrong (decisions), a part of me appreciate the guts I have, at times. I dont want to come to a stage/age in life to realise that I am incapable of doing all the things that I have tried.
