Maths

This is for any of you high school kids reading this, if any.

There was a time when I used to be quite good at Maths. If I remember correctly, I did make it to some level in the Mathematics Olympiad, national mostly, when I was in school. But then I slowly started losing interest in maths. I felt it was too abstract - the number theory part and all, and felt I should be more practical in my orientation. And so I became what I am today.

Not that I am sad now. I am very much happy with who I am. Just one thing though - I feel I could have been this even if I hadn't given up my interest in maths. Now on the look out for a job, I feel that might have helped me more.

So just one advise for my juniors, in case any of them are reading this - never give up on your interests; you never know when they may help you.
