In the soundtrack of my life, I’ve had songs from Hamilton occur with increasing frequency. One particular piece, Wait For It, resonates most clearly where I feel I am in my trading life. Specifically:
Death doesn’t discriminate
Between the sinners
And the saints
It takes and it takes and it takesAnd we keep living anyway
We rise and we fall
And we break
And we make our mistakesAnd if there’s a reason I’m still alive
When everyone who loves me has died
I’m willing to wait for itI am the one thing in life I can control
I am inimitable
I am an originalI’m not falling behind or running late
I’m not standing still
I am lying in wait
