Abstract: Your gift as an engineer, scientist, or mathematician is the ability to make sense of the complex, or to be able to manipulate what is seemingly immovable to the rest of the world. The reason that you are good at this is because you love to do it. You will have a rewarding life if fascinating, complex problems that matter are presented to you for your solution.
