Maybe you guys are wondering why do I post two posts in short distance? Well, it's because of school's demands, my English teacher, to be exact.
Anyway, in this post, I'd like to tell you guys a bit about the person who "makes" this me in the present. Do you guys have any idea?
Well, my hint is that person is related to my dream, which is to become a physicist in Japan and live there, if you had read my first post.
Ok, without any further ado, here it is.

... "Who's this guy?"
I bet that question are the first thing that's on your mind when you see this picture.
Well, not many person know him, except people with high level interest in Science. Physics, to be exact.
Ok, I'll tell you guys about him now.
He is Christopher Hirata. He was born in Michigan, at 30 November 1982. He is the main role model for me to reach my goal (excluding the Japan part, of couse. Because currently he work in the USA).
Why, you ask? What's so special about him that makes me make him as the person who inspires me the most, after my parents?
Hehe, because ....
He is a child prodigy. We all know that child prodigy is defined as a child under the age of ten who can already produce the same results of work as an adult expert, or even more. There are only a few of them among billion of people in this earth, and he, Christopher Hirata is one of them. In Mathematics, we have Terence Tao with an IQ of 230, and in Physics (Astrophysics, to be exact), we have him, with an IQ of 225.
You guys are like "WTF 200+!?" lol. I mean, I know how you guys feel, because I feel so stupid compared to these two. There's this famous Indonesian proverb that are actually very good to describe our difference in level, "Bagai langit dan bumi", which is VERY accurate. :(
Just imagine, guys.
At just the age of 13 years, he received a gold medal at the International Physics Olympiad and the next year he was enrolled into Caltech University which means he commenced his university education at the age of 14years. Furthermore, at only the age of 16 years he was already working with NASA on project exploring the possibility of colonizing Mars. Yes, you read correctly! Working with NASA at the age of 16 years! And that’s not all; he got his Ph.D. at 22 years old from Princeton. Christopher is known to be an outstanding young cosmologist and astrophysicist whose research ranges from purely theoretical investigations to original data analysis.

At the age of 13 and 14, I was a f*king weeaboo, and my only activity is watching Japanese group Idol on youtube Well, I do it even now, but not as frequent as back then.
Right now, I barely understand National Level Physics Olympiad Problem that had many calculus form, and he got a gold in the International Level in just the age of 13. Damn :( F* my life.
I DO understand some National Problem, but with some help from Solution Page ;) Because sometimes my mind went blank and didn't know what the next step is. Sometimes, it's so frustating but at the same time, it's also exciting because the problems they gave me at school was so simple and didn't even took 15 min to solve a problem, while a National Level may took an hour, or more (for me). So now maybe you guys can imagine how smart Christopher Hirata is, and how he inspires me to become a person like him, a good Astrophysicst.
Why Astrophysict? Because I like to see the stars glowing in the sky at night, and at the same time, I like Physics too. So I think, why don't I do both? If he can do it, why can't I?
I know my IQ is not as high as him, even though his IQ was almost 1.5 times higher than mine (damn), I think we all have the freedom to do what we love and do our best.
A wise man once said, "With hope and hardwork, what kind of thing is impossible?" ;)
Okay guys, that's all from me. I know this is short, because too be honest I don't have much time.
Why? Olympiad is next week :( And I barely study in the last few weeks.
So, ok. Wish me luck and see you guys on my next post!
P.S.
As souvenir, I'd like to give you guys a little idea about how hard an International Level Olympic is. This is the Solution, by the way. I didn't including the problem because too lazyyy......
