My childhood dream was receiving the Copley Medal award (sponsored by Royal Society) for outstanding achievements in mathematics.
Well, here I am, and I'm going to weed my garden today... 😐

@helenS That's a very thoughtful goal for a child. Even if you didn't get there I bet you've done something significant.

I just wanted to be a footballer. I'd have considered being a racing driver as a second choice but that seemed like it might be dangerous.

Here I am working for a hedge fund. Nobody ever said I want to work for a hedge fund when I grow up.

@helenS it's great that you accomplished your achievement. Speaking of nominations apparently without even knowing it I was nominated by a society of great thinkers in the Midwest. I only know of this because I actually Googled myself at one time and found it. I assumed it was because of a lot of my editorials that have been published in newspapers around the country
