Continuing the tradition of Gold Medal Winner doing the write-up:
It's difficult being a gold medal winner, the pressure is on, do I write something that is meaningful, thought provoking or just plain daft? Do I make it serious or totally off-the-wall, does anyone care?
Most of the time I am a modest person, not usually shouting about my achievements, a feeling of self-satisfaction about winning a gold medal is usually enough. I have thought about going down the Facebook, Twitter, Instagram route, release a blog unto the world that tells the story about me [me,me]. Hoping that I'll get noticed and will be sponsored to travel the world for free, living out of expensive, exotic, warm and sunny locations - must have a pool, of course.
Only then could I showcase my mountaineering, mountainbiking, skiing, photography, scuba diving, kayaking, motorcycling, craft beer brewing, living in a caravan, trading, selfie taking sunset gazing skills!
But, no, I'm not like that, I'm from a forgotten generation, inbetween baby boomer golden handshake retirees and younger millenial, Y-type whatevers. They classify us as Generation X.
Who, Gen-X? I hear you ask. Yes, exactly, those somewhere in the 40-60 range, still working and probably have been since 16, making enough to be comfortable, but not rich, children are older and doing their own things. We grew up in a non-technology world, and are not quite overtaken by modern computing, AI and robots just yet. Hoping for a comfortable retirement but fearful that the world has got so crazy that we will be yet again screwed by more taxes, PCness and general infringement on just living a normal life, free from the ever increasing encroachment of state interference.
At least I can rely on the weekly stability, discipline and focus required to maintain a presence in the S&P 500 competition in the T2W forum.
Good luck everyone :clap:
