Sleep more /s
I'm lazy af but travel all around the world & try all sorts of food. Permanently move to Japan (I still have plans for that, just waiting for the right time)
I have similar plans of Japan. What's your reasoning for Japan though? I have lots, top of the mind-
- Shinkansen bullet train
- The culture of Japan and the invention/creativity with Discipline they have
- Anime
@made_a_chu_chu Anime mainly. I have friends working there in the anime/manga/LN industry & some as ALT. Missed my chance going there before, so Japan is in my bucket list.
Back to academics.. gain deep expertise in physics and get into research for purely mental stimulation and not be part of rat race to show results or publish. I imagine there is enough to learn which is enough for a lifetime
Great answer! Academics! Any particular college in mind?
Haven't thought that far.. college will put timeline and course pressure, which is something I hated during my years in academics. Rushing from one course to the other, from one semester to the other... Never pausing for the pleasure of learning. Plus placement orientation of learning is another sickening aspect. I just need a college that will help me learn at my own pace, once you are not working for money, lot of man made deadlines dissolve away
If I had enough money, I would start an R&D Centre to cater to underprivileged yet highly talented people who could'nt make research their dream job due to constraints. Providing education to underprivileged is the most satisfying thing.
Great!
Exactly! I too have thought about this. Today's technologies are due to past world researches. R&D should be given importance and scientists should get paid well. The government should use the taxpayers money to fund R&D.
Would you like to do same Job? No. It's stressful, meaningless, competitive, full of rat race vibe...which is not good in long term. What would you do differently? Will pursue a career in teaching. It will be not for money, but to keep me active. I consider it more purposeful, there is work life balance. And try to find more time for travel, and other lesiures I enjoy. I guess after financial independence, being part of rat race is a waste of life.
True Dat!
I'd treat my life as a video game which has already been completed and now I'm on experimenting mode. I'll not stop working. I want to work till the last day of my life but I'll try different industries and different roles.
What's stopping you from exploring right now?
Start a small traditional business in a small town..I really want to have a work family. The culture in a company is very founder/CEO/ Management led, I've realised. .and if I want to build a great workplace culture I have to be the CEO of my own company.
Be known for doing good work. Help employees in a way that they remember for life. Irrespective of tenure served with us. Etc.
Have vacation homes in a couple of locations where we can visit. I don't understand the concept of "settling in one city"and adjusting with extreme weather. Animals migrate to more favorable weather conditions. I don't want to live in a place with harsh winters or bad summers ya.
Travel to a few more places in life to enrich myself.
I think the third will happen anyway with time as I save more and more ....I hope the other two also happen for me..I will then have lived a full life.
Makes sense! What sort of traditional business would you start?
Also, you don't have a work family now?
