Folk mathematicians, without systematic study and professional training, have been recognized for their love for mathematics. After becoming famous, there were many opportunities for him to choose, but because of various concerns and inferiority, he finally missed it.
He is always worried about money in life.
After reading his story, I feel that he is bound by money. Even if I love math, I think I can earn more money. All this may be related to his childhood experience.
His family is very difficult. His father and uncle stayed at home, and a large family 10 people crowded together. Parents are often too busy making a living to care about him, and he is also very close to his uncle.
When I was a child, I was very young. I wanted a desk, but I never got it. I have to do my homework on the high platform with my feet up. Because I am worried that my family can't afford the tuition, I dare not apply for the undergraduate course even if I get good grades.
I don't even want a college diploma because I have no money to pay my tuition. Money has always been the root of his troubles. He wants to earn more money, but he also wants to study math. After going out to work, I want to find a job that can learn math and make money.
After his mother died, he wanted to change himself
He said that there is no money in society, and he has been wandering between reality and ideal. The reality needs money to fill, and the ideal is to live in the ocean of mathematics all the time. The collision between the two made him hesitate, and even if the opportunity appeared, it could not change his life.
The opportunity appeared, but it was missed because of hesitation.
He has always stressed that he is in his thirties and doesn't want to waste time. When he became famous, many people extended an olive branch to him. But he refused on the grounds that it was too long or needed to spend money.
There is only one who does not require academic qualifications and has a high salary, only to find that the other party wants him to learn gambling. He said he wanted to be a math teacher, but when the opportunity came, he hesitated again and finally missed it.
He said he felt inferior, which may be the reason why he missed many opportunities. He said that he was old and had just started in his thirties. It took him several years to save enough money for college, so what if he started all over again.
People's life is neither long nor short. You have the life you want, and the reality is far from the ideal, so shorten it with a plan. There are many choices in life. Inadvertently, a choice will change your life.
Life is not just about getting married and having children, but also about pursuing ideals. It is not too late to change yourself. If you can't change the environment, change yourself. People in your circle don't understand you, so try to understand your circle.
In a word, folk mathematical geniuses worry too much when choosing, which leads to mistakes step by step. If you want an ideal life, you should earn enough money to go to college, and don't care about other people's eyes. Your life is not for others.
