Well, I still think I'll be somewhat rich and (am) happy. But not famous or a scientist.

I realized as a 3rd year math undergrad that I'd never make it as a mathematician (not saying others can't--just me). So I applied to med school and got in.

Being a scientist or mathematician isn't the only way to benefit society, but I can definitely understand how you could think that.

I mean, I've a pretty good standard of living and all but back then I dreamed about revolutionizing my field.

If such thing exist, maybe in other life.

I might be famous (writer/journalist as my profession), I'm an amateur scientist (read: I do it as a hobby but have no direct professional training), I might just be rich but don't care too much if I'm not, as long as I enjoy my life.

If I get to live my life doing what I love, in relative health and comfort, I will consider it a life worth living. Money comes and goes, fame's worth nothing, science doesn't need to be a career nor do you need to be certified to do it.

Life has its shit moments, but, hey, fuck it; you only get one go (unless the Hindus/Buddhists/Drewze are right, but it's not like you'll remember). The more time you spend bitching about it and sad is more time not spent living it the fuck up.

Sure, I won't do that, I will just be another engineer or scientist.

Never believed in getting famous,neither a scientist. I simply don't see why I would want all that fucking attention, neither why I would dedicated all my worktime to researching, I would rather build things

I'm pretty convinced that I'm gonna be happy, my dream right now is just getting a house with a room where I can do some electronics. Other than that, buyng my own island, getting a motorbike.

I don't believe I'm gonna get insanely rich, but because I've been saving as much as I have been able to, I believe I will never lack anything.

I have however lost faith in humanity, I lost this faith when I started reading newspapers when I was 10.

This is also a reason for why I want my own island, so I can get as far away as I can
