Theo is an exceptionally intelligent man. I would love to meet him and try to understand him better. There are not many people I am truly in awe of, (although there are many I respect - especially on these boards), but Theo is someone I really am in awe of. The only other two people I have felt like that about are my H - who made a conscious decision NOT to get a first when taking his degree because he didn't want to get locked into academia which often happened in his chosen field, (Operational Research), and one of the partners in Deloittes who I worked for who was such an amazing man. I have often been told that I am super intelligent - but I hide it extremely well!!!! Hope must be very bright to be an actuary!!!!

Unfortunately being academically bright is absolutely no guarantee of happiness - infact I would even go as far as to say it leads to more sorrow.
