Jason,

Wow. Powerful advice. Thank you for giving such helpful advice in such a timely matter.

Your advice is really making me reflect. I'm not even sure I can fully process it all in just the few minutes after reading it. But I'll be sure to copy your response and look back on it again and again in the future.

Great call on forgiving myself. The competition of this field (ha - which I'm not even in...yet) makes you forget your innate abilities and skills. I need to get back to the core of why I began pursuing the CFA charter in the first place. Then harness that passion and let my creative, intuitive abilities take over. Your book sounds like it's worth the read as well. Thanks for taking an example from it to help me out.

Forgiving myself, putting back on my "Investor Cap," and looking for investment opportunities through creative and intuitive thinking at every turn. Simply, great advice. Thanks again.

John
