Answer 1

Answer:

When I was much younger, I was fortunate to be part of a group of gifted mathematicians. In time, some of my former colleagues did better than me, other worse than me - it's just normal. However, a good number among those former colleagues simply did nothing with their gift, they just "got lost". We all received the same amount of quality attention, support and opportunities in our formative years, so I do not have any explanation why that happened.

My point is that, no mater the programs or opportunities offered, it is the individual resilience that ultimately makes or destroys a career. And, with a few exceptions, in our old age, we look at each other one with envy - isn't this awful?

In my case, I found pleasure and solace in research, of course (I wrote 4 books and some 140 papers), but also in coordinating students (2 Postdocs, 6 Ph.D., 14 Master and over 400 undergraduates) - the former and the latter are my ways of giving back for the superb gift that I've received.

I am now retired from academia, still working as consultant in the private sector, and still do research and train young gifted mathematicians, statisticians, etc.
