i want to inspire and provoke. i think more often i merely amuse.
Science is as much an art as anything else. You take the knowledge that you have gained from
the masters who passed before you and using this you create pieces of art you call your own.
Anybody can memorize the rules and theories but it takes an artist to use those rules to form
something new like a theory or piece of hardware. Everybody in their life has a calling to be the
best at something. For some it may as a painter or a poet for others, it may be as a chemist or
surgeon. Some people may leave their masterpiece in the world not on canvas or in a new
technology but in their children. Some people are indisputably unfit parents whilst others are
clearly worthy. For me a masterpiece would be for my child to have absolute confidence in
everything that they do in life, to be completely skeptical and yet completely objective in
everything that they encounter in life. Perhaps more selfishly i would like to see accomplish the
things that i could not, like first in the state for chemistry and making the first XV for rugby and the
starting five for first basketball. But the thing above all else that I want them to do is to never give
up and hold their own priorities below those of others


Perhaps as i further my studies in the realm of life i will come across my calling and create my
masterpiece. Just know this, that science, art, politics, religion and everything that comes in
between are all one and the same. They are as much science as art. And that no matter what
happens during your life, you will find your calling and you will create your masterpiece. It's just
that like so many of the Greats, it will not be called a masterpiece in your own lifetime.

The only thing left to say is,

Forty-six & 2.

Find it, read it. It will tell you what to do.
