What A Waste
I was recently impressed but disappointed by the biography of the great Mathematician, John Nash. Really impressed me when he could wrote a 27 pages PhD thesis at his age of 21, titled "Non-Cooperative Games". His famous "Game Theory" and "Nash Equilibrium" at that time won him the Nobel Prize in Economics Science 45 years later in 1994, when nowadays many people are utilising his theory in various applications ranging from Economics to military purposes.
Was trying hard to understand his Game Theory, seems like a great piece of work, totally genius !! What shocked me the most is the true life story of John Nash. A young and talented genius, but end up getting mad and diagnosed with mental illness (schizophrenia) for his rest of the life. He's now recovered from his illness and is a professor in Princeston University. Really enjoyed reading his biography, and I supposed the film "Beautiful Mind" is definitely awesome too.
A life without God can be very successful and brilliant; on the other hand, a life without God can be soooo hopeless....
