This is my project that organize an article a week about what I learned & thought.

・Joy of Missing Out

Imagine missing an important party, losing the experience of falling into ecstacy with your friends.

Suddenly, you percieve a strong sense of fear that nearly freak you out.

“Damn, I just screw it up!”

This scene typifies the symptom of FOMO, the fear of missing out, which is a term that went viral while the social media becoming ubiquitous in people’s lives.

Yet, there’s also a great savier, JOMO, catching up to bring back the joy from notorious social platform.

JOMO, the joy of missing out, is an extremely opposite notion that solidly stands on the other side from FOMO.

JOMO reminds us that we should not merely be somber about missing out; instead, we should excavate the pleasure of missing from the colassal hole of illness.

Give yourself a shot to leaving social platform behind from you life. Authencally, the unpredictably relief will greatly improve your mental health.

The research on JOMO is nascent; however, from the evidence that is avalible, it is conspicuous that JOMO indeed plays a crucial role in fighting FOMO.

To subdue fears while augmenting joy, the sincere advice is to manage your time immersed in those virtual wonderlands.

Let JOMO be with you, and ultimately, the chain of fear of missing will break down into great enjoyment of the meaning of presence.

・Millennium Prize Problems

The Millennium Prize Problems refer to seven intricate and formidable problems in in the world of mathematics. Officially selected by the Clay Mathematics Institute in 2000 to celebrate the new millennium, these problems serve as a magnificent and paramount challenge for humanity, awaiting intrepid explorers to reach the summit. To solve these seven problems, the Clay Mathematics Institute even offers an tantalizing reward of 1 million USD for each problem solved, waiting for the person who we humans can count on.

Now, let’s check the seven daunting problems:

・Poincaré conjecture
A topology question about three-dimensional shapes, proposed by Henri Poincaré in 1904.

Although impostor syndrome seems to be inscrutable, psychology professors who deal with it have suggest various recommendations for people in similar situations.

・Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture
An algebraic geometry conjecture that describes the set of rational solutions to equations defining an elliptic curve.

・Hodge conjecture
A problem in algebraic geometry and complex geometry that relates the algebraic topology of a non-singular complex algebraic variety to its subvarieties.

・Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness
The Navier–Stokes equations originate from fluid mechanics and describe the motion of fluids in depth.

・P versus NP
The P versus NP discussion is a theoretical computer science problem which deals with the complexity of algorithms.

・Riemann hypothesis
The Riemann hypothesis is a conjecture about the Riemann zeta function in mathematics. It is also Hilbert's eighth problem and remains a significant open problem over a century later.

・Yang–Mills existence and mass gap
This problem concerns the difference in energy between the vacuum and the next lowest energy state in quantum field theory.

In 2003, Grigori Yakovlevich Perelman, a Russian mathematician, announced that he had found a solution to the Poincaré Conjecture. This groundbreaking result sent ripples through the mathematical community. After a long and meticulous verification, researchers confirmed that Perelman's solution was correct.

Subsequently, in 2010, the Clay Mathematics Institute officially awarded him the 1 million USD prize, yet Perelman declined it. Despite what might seem unbelievable, Perelman insisted that the contributions of another professor, Richard Hamilton, who worked at Columbia University, were also second to none, so he refuse the reward.

Unsurprisingly, even now, only the Poincaré Conjecture has been successfully resolved. Recently, with the rapid advancements in machine learning, scientists have started to rely on AI to approach solutions. However, just like staring across a wide river, we still need a lot of time and effort to eventually reach the other side.

・Ikigai

Ikigai (生き甲斐) is a philosophical term rooted in Japanese culture, embodies the essence of living purposeful life.

Breaking it down, “iki” means “alive” and “gai” means “worth”. With the abundant veneration of the spirit of happiness, this concept has become popular in the West and propel people to find the zeal of the life.

Ikigai is built four pillars that is closely connected:

・ What you love
The activity you authentically love or can’t get enough of.

・ What you are good at
The field that you believe you can success.

・ What you can be paid for
The profession that makes you enough for a living.

・ What the world needs
The field of work that is desirable or in high demand.

These components form the foundation of a fulfilling existence, where pleasure and purpose converge. Only if all of them be cautiously achieved can one ascend to the ultimate state of “Ikigai”.

Ikigai is not restricted to mere career aspirations, it could also serve as a reference for broader life aspect. In some way, we human trying to find the meaning of existance until the end. Perhaps Ikigai may give you a hand on this journey of pursuit.
