By my standards, success is about more than what you do. My success as a person depends on the support of family and friends. They help me achieve success, and they are a part of that success. If I neglected those relationships to move up the career ladder, then my success would be empty.

Finally, success is personal. When I graduate with a bachelor's degree, I want to feel that I left the university better than when I arrived. Of course I want recognition from my teachers and fellow students, and of course I want my family and friends to be proud of me. But I also want to know that I put forth my best effort, and to me, being able to look yourself in the mirror is part of success.

What work of art, music, science, mathematics or literature has surprised or unsettled or challenged you, and in what way?

The explosion was vast in magnitude. Light illuminated the infinite darkness of space, as matter hurtled outward from its primal source.

This is the Big Bang Theory of how our universe began some fifteen billion years ago. If we look through a sophisticated telescope, we can still see a miniscule portion of that matter, consolidated into galaxies, still racing away from its celestial womb.

The origin and destination of that matter are a challenge to my imagination. It could have come from a previous universe that collapsed upon itself. Then again, it could have been a divine force that sparked its inception.

Either way, that leaves the question of whether our universe will expand infinitely, or collapse into a new primal mass.

If collapse is the answer, then I wonder if some species will be here in our place, and whether another species was here before us. I wonder whether we are the only beings formed from this universe soup, and if we will ever bump into the neighbors.
