Tennis confidence

Damn I got crushed in tennis. It is often about confidence to succeed in these things... once you have upper momentum u an dominate due to sheer ability to rattle your opponent. At least at my level it is the case. How to get your mind and body to react is the tough part of sports.

At tennis I met this 25yo dude who is moving from middle-office into the top trading group. I was like, thats odd, one rarely can make the jump into trading unless:
a) he knows someone really well
b) is young
c) has some background say in Math from somewhere like Cambridge

Turns out he has 2/3 (25yo and Cambridge MS in Math/Theoretical Physics). Wow bright future. I envy the guy as I do the others who dominate in tennis and golf. Nice to be at the top.

Oh well for the rest of us.. we must focus on what we got going.

I should write some ponderances on girls and looks. I feel I am a bit shallow, but not as shallow as many, but more shallow than at least a few that I know. Thats next up.
