About life----- Sunday, August 01, 2004 Howdy from -------, the -------- isles of paradise. It's been a long time since I've written anything worthwhile on this weblog, something that I've been proud of. I've long attributed it to work and stress of a career but the more I've realised is that I need this year to develop and mature in my thought process in order to write with more depth and worthiness. Though only 19 my experiences throughout my life befit that of someone 5yrs older, which in a sense has always been a part of my duality. I went to university at a young age, 14, and finished Masters at 18. A year later I find myself the youngest anaylst on the trading floor at an investment bank and revving starting my graduate training for the next two months. I have fast forwarded my life by four years and whilst this has always been unconventional to say the least, no one I know has ever done that, I'm coming to realise the legacy of that decision. I feel as though the weight of my achievements and personality lend me the authority and character of a 24yr old but the reality is that I'm so younger. My social and professional are in the mid 20's now, the girl I've gone to ------ with is turning 20 something next month (she'd wring my neck if I mentioned my age), hence when I do meet people my age they just seem so alien. Now what am I trying to say here, frankly I can't explain it myself, but I feel as though I didn't write because I had to resolve this inner koan (the Japanese word for perplexing and often insolvable riddle). Traversing the age bands and generations, striving to be the best all of my life, this hedonistic ------ holiday in ------- (mind you it's only day no 1) has made me realised that I'm so much more different than everybody else. My life, everything about me can never and will never be ordinary for there are some whom destiny choose to illumine their path to distinction. Erstwhile I was only subliminally aware of my talents I have now become conscious and awake about who I am, in a blazing sense of purpose not there before. Zachary Latif 13:02 Saturday, July 31, 2004 I am going to -------the ----- islands for a ten day holiday. Afterward when I return to ----- I am going to the graduate training program so I'll be returning to a student life in a way. More time to write and ruminate hopefully. Zachary Latif 09:17
