I am 33 and so I have started to read again the book "Reading The Mind Of God" ... It is inspiring me to become a scientist. I love to think about and work out the mysteries of the Universe. This book is about the principle of Universality and the quest to search for it. I previously studied engineering and lost interest, dropping out of college a few times. After that, I wasted another 6 years or so of my life at home, suffering from severe depression and not doing much. (unable to find inspiration and motivation). Now my dream is to be able to return, complete my degree and then do a PHD and become a full time researcher and scientist like Richard Dawkins , Neil Degrasse Tyson and Michio Kaku. I am starting this thread to connect with others in similar situations.
