“You say you feel you are a nameless man. You are not to your wife and to your child. You will not long remain so to your immediate colleagues if you can answer their simple questions when they come into your office. You are not nameless to me. Do not remain nameless to yourself – it is too sad a way to be. Know your place in the world and evaluate yourself fairly, not in terms of your naïve ideals of your own youth, nor in terms of what you erroneously imagine your teacher’s ideals are.”

—Written by acclaimed scientist Richard Feynman, when responding to the letter from one his former protégés.

Thirty was the year I found a community where I have a name, and it is here that I intend to stay.

Happy 31st birthday to me ☺️
