Just a thought.

<----- I'm wearing pants that I stole from my grandma in Korea. Nice, right? It's the most comfortable thing ever. It's long enough to protect me from vicious mosquitoes too. 

Thank goodness we can still feel the Californian sun; thinking of the dreadful, cold winter and how many vitamin c tablets I will take is really unpleasant. But, I'll just enjoy the good weather for now.

Today in Statistics we watched a video on Andrew Wiles, a professor at Princeton and a well-known mathematician. It was about his life long dream of proving Fermat's Last Theorem, which took him seven years to do; only, his proof was flawed. These people really make me think about having, or trying to have, a purposeful life. Where do they get these inspirations? Where do they begin? Where will their goals, if accomplished, take them?

So my recent knowledge of Mr. Wiles and the epics (Gilgamesh and Achilles) we have been reading in Ramon's class are challenging my views on well, everything. Like what really motivated Gilgamesh and Achilles to be the great men that they were (according to the epics), when they both understood and believed that all men and women are equal in death? Especially since these two come from cultures that don't believe in real consequences or rewards in the afterlife for having morals (or lacking them),  like I do.

Anyway, this is just a thought.
