Geometry is beautiful
I thought that Tom Zhang's interview about his proof of the "Twin Primes" was very humbling, as well as interesting. This very intelligent man does math for the pure reason of, it's what he enjoys doing. From this interview we can see that Mr. Zhang believes that as long as you are dedicated and persistent, you can achieve anything. Throughout his answers he displays the idea of committing yourself to something that makes you happy. He didn't let anything get in his way of solving this problem and is a great example of a person who has found what makes him happy and has put it to good use. Tom Zhang is an excellent example of how much of an impact a single person can have on the world. The Twin Primes problem had been unsolved for hundreds of years, but after committing himself to it with an immense interest, he succeeded in what many others could not. This view on life inspires me to try my best in what I enjoy doing and to try to make a difference in the world.
