Hello! I am a 17 y/o M in the U.S. and have recently finished TMF . I am pretty sheltered and don't have much life experience, so I get a lot from books. In my earlier years, I spent most of my time playing video games and I never had the drive to think long-term about my life. Some things I do now are: play the cello, play chess, learn Chinese, and I am learning python on my own. I want to acquire skills that will help me in creating a Fastlane business but am unsure of where to start and what to do based on my lack of experience.
My parents are both doctors so I have been expected to travel down the slow lane. I also go to a private school where everyone is focused on getting the top grades and going to a good college as their parents taught them. Everyone in my life is slow lane so it was the only thing I knew. My sister doesn't try as much in school and because of that my parent's expectations of me to go to a good college and get a "good job" go up. After reading TMF my mind always reminds me that they have been taught that the slow lane is the only path to success, and it is a conflicting feeling when I know there is a better alternative.
As a junior in high school, I am going through the college process and I have never felt so disconnected from a process involving my life. I don't really mind where I go but I want to be able to pursue a Fastlane lifestyle and not be overburdened by schoolwork. I know that I am at a good place in the slow lane but I don't want to regret years later that I let other people control my choices.
The Fastlane is a light to me but I am worried about not pursuing it because I care about what my parents and my friends think about me. I am also worried about delving into an unknown world and interacting with many different types of people. Despite this, I am excited to have a medium in which I can gain some wisdom from people who have achieved what I want to do.
Looking forward to meeting and getting to know you all!
