I am going to study mathematics in university. I do not have a special talent or deep interests in this subject. However, the reason I want to take maths as my course is because maths is the fundamental language out of all human logics, philosophy and sciences. there is no doubt many great philosophers were mathematicians as well; Platon, Aristoteles, Leoranrdo Da Vinci, Descartes, Bertland Russell and the list wont end. My own belif of my existence is that I am here to learn and to think. I do not want to induce what i believe to be truth to others because it is their own mission to discover them. Further on, I want to enjoy the world I am living in, no matter what I see is illusion or fake, I will still enjoy as it is.
Science is beautiful. It is as beautiful as arts or ballet. I personally like what Poincare said:
"The scientist does not study nature because it is useful, he studies it because he delights in it, and he delights in it because it is beautiful. If nature were not beautiful, it would not be worth knowing, and if nature were not worth knowing, life would not be worth living."
Many overlook science as boring and dried which lacks beauty. Some artists often argue science is incomparable to arts in terms of creatiity. However, both have their complex roots in human curiosity, imagination, a sense of beauty, memory and a capacity to dream.
I have not read the famous 'Two Culture' by C.P Snow but this is the must read for me when my enlgish gets better
