The first chapter got me hooked already. I guess it's the same for everyone. We are all looking fondly during the days before we hit that metaphorical cross roads. I'm glad that I stuck through my field. I'm not the best in what I do, but I believe that I do have something to offer. This chapter just made me think about how easily everything could've gone wrong if I listened to my parents thinking that there's no future in being a "mathematician". I'm proud of what I've achieved so far, I just got a scholarship to study for my PhD abroad.
I won't admit it in real life, but I will not exchange my "art" for any of my personal relationships.
