Yesterday, December 9, 2010, I and Alma, my friend from Malaysia attended to economy class at KTH main campus. "Adek, I remember you're interested to learn about economic things? My department will invite guess lecture at 9 December, nobel winner this year! If you want to come, you can tell me, so we can attend it together", that's how Alma told me about this class, in an ordinary evening that i spent beside this window, reading never ending presentation slides and assignments.
So, there i was, at that 13.30 afternoon, after said "i'm sorry i cant join this meeting until finish because I have class now at valhalavagen" to my teammates in network security class, the 2 handsome guys from Turky, Arman and Aydin, when we're in the middle of finishing the last report *actually i have done 90% of that report before, because i have finished my previous assignment faster than the guys, so we just took care the rest 20% at that moment :>
Alma has already waited for me near SL center store in Tekniska Hogskolan T-Bana station, and we're in a rush walking in the middle of rain snow and freezing to the F2 Aula. And just when we're arriving, the man that we're waiting for, just arrived with his driver that was opening the nobel car door for him :> Yep, that was him, Prof Peter Diamond, that was mathematic bachelor student, then become professor in MIT in economic and got Nobel Prize in his 45 years career, because his research in solving a puzzle which was started with simple question, "why there is a lot of unemployment, but in fact there are still so many job opening?"
I cannot say to you, I fully understand what he talked about at that class. But, at least i will always remember what Prof Peter told when he explained to us how can a mathematical student end up in economic field and got Nobel award? He said, "If you are in the middle on searching of what you want to focus in, don't hope to find it at the first experiment. Try as much as you can, then you know what is the most interested for you and what you are best in."
Well, i agree professor, let's do this! I hope I can follow your achievement, become Nobel Laureate someday.. wohoo... *who knows?
