My Plan

As I shared, my son will go to law school in 2018. I hope he can make his dream of going to Georgetown to be true but still think UW Law School being his best choice. However, if he wants to jump onto national stage at young ages, Georgetown is more promising for sure.

In addition to my job, I do have several plans for myself. Though I have had some issues since early 2000 after settling in Seattle in late 1990s, I have been working out regularly and keeping diets relatively healthy in the last several years. According to life expectancy for my generation, I still expect to live until 85. If I can retire at 60, I plan to start my fourth career of my life until 80 years old if I can keep up with my current energy level. 

So, what will my fourth career be? 

Closely related to my current profession, my first plan is to finish PhD in Economics at age of 63 I started 25 years ago but never progressed, then become a professor while publishing my own books and papers; 

My alternative plan in this regard is to get my CFA I started in 2000 and resumed in 2010 but never finished charted before my retirement, then become a full time stock trader by running my own investment LLC while playing an active role in this industry in terms of presenting, educating and communicating my theories and practices in conferences;

I believe being a writer is always my natural talent. This plan can be implemented today and I will become a full time professional after ten years. As you already read, I had posted a memoir type of story of Sometime in Scandinavia in the past several years but never finished. I have been thinking in the last two months about to start enriching it into a 200, 000 words novel and even wrote a Table of Content several weeks ago. Tonight, after taking a long rest since this afternoon, I finished Prologue. Since I can't publish a book, which has been posted in public domain, I changed its name a little bit. The main stream of the story will still be driving through Scandinavian Peninsula clockwise, but 90% of the contents will cover almost entire of 1990s and the past 10 years (Don't worry, it won't relate to anyone or anything specifically in my regular daily life because the scenes will be mainly in Europe) and it will be much more fictional. I am shooting for publishing it by the end of October, hopefully you will buy one to read. Who knows can't it be turned a best-seller and moved onto big screen because it won't be only about romance? You will learn much more genres from this book...

Epilogue

In Copenhagen, you may want to drink Carlsberg but in Stockholm, I tended to order Eriksberg. Every time, when the leading male character of my book was sitting by Kungsgatan drinking Eriksberg, he always expected her to come over to pull another chair and apologized: "Sorry, I am late", then argued: "But this is the only time I am." Yes, that was the only time she was.
