Being good at school in math gave me the push to study math all my life up to now.

My major is statistics but specifically I work on statistical modeling of vector born diseases(e.g. Malaria) which I have going on right now as a PHD project.

Devote yourself, work hard and be consistent as much as possible, then you'll achieve whatever crazy goal or dream you have in mind.

Besides the self and ego, we owe others(Person, concept or whatever) so we should try our best to give something back. We do that inevitably but I think we should push this idea to the conscious level.
