That night, I decided to systematically search for truth by studying mathematics and physics. I felt that studying them would give me the greatest chance to understand the fundamental nature of the physical universe.

As I continued staring at the heavens above, I was filled with a very distinct and powerful thought - "If there is a God, and if I expend every ounce of energy that I possess in systematically searching for truth, then I will discover God." This very thought of discovering God was very exciting and I was ready to begin searching for truth.
