4. What is your most amazing UT achievement?: I’m not an individual stats type of guy so I look at only team achievements. As team achievements go, a lot of different things running through my head. I would say reaching #1 multiple times on different ladders for OGL/IGL/TWL for both zp ig and reg ig was pretty cool (would have beat NV too on 1 map while being up 1-0 on rainbase & wrecking havoc if I didn't choke on defense.. F*CK!).

11. What is your life philosophy (1 sentence is enough but longer better!)? Life is truly marvelous. Seek peace within yourself first and foremost. Ask big questions of the world and never stop searching for answers. Be skeptical, don't accept everything people tell you without thinking it through/researching yourself (but avoid cynicism). The most important thing a person does is think. Ideas help create purpose for our existence. Inspire yourself to be more & do more - we all have certain limitations and barriers but do not let it stop you from being yourself. Hope. Inspire. Dream. Live.
12. Name 3 things (or people) that inspire you in life:
1. science/physics specifically. I like to learn about the world. I am inspired by people like Einstein, Stephen Hawking, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Michio Kaku, Newton, etc
2. philosophy. I spend countless hours thinking of essentially everything. There was a quote I read one - science is what we know but philosophy is concerned with what we don't know. I'm inspired by people like Plato, Aristotle, Bertrand Russell, Rene Descartes, Immanuel Kant. These guys changed how we think of the world today.
3. My man Bruce Lee. This man was awesome & lived an awesome life. Mahatma Gandhi, of course, I am a student of
13. What is your greatest strength in life? Your greatest weakness? Strength is analysis. I do in-depth analysis of everything and become very critical once I start thinking (this is why I type long stuff because that is just how I think).
Greatest weakness is not knowing how to deal with people as I don't understand emotions - makes me come across as cold and distant to people both in real-life & online. I am not a very emotional person -- I should stop being so sarcastic and busting people's chops even if it's meant to be as a joke because not everybody is like me! They don't understand that I mean well.
14. What are you most grateful for in life? Life itself is what I am most grateful for. Knowledge, thought, articulating theories, meeting people both online and RL.. Life is pretty awesome!
15. We all have dreams of tomorrow for ourselves. Name 1 thing that you have a dream for: My dream is to change the world in some way for the better. Yes, I dream very big.
16. Based on what you learned in your life, what lesson do you think others can learn from you?: Thinking outside the box. Don't get stuck into being like others or following certain conventional thinking. Just be yourself to the best of your abilities.
17. List 5 words that describe who you are and what you stand for: Thinker. Introvert. Scientist. Kid for life. Human.
