This is a question I used to ask myself. This is the answer only GA will know. Because this is something even I have yet to fully figure out myself. But can I stay tenacious in what I believe in, and hope to achieve something like how those who I idolise were able to achieve in their lifetime?
This is something I had been thinking about ever since I attended the JGI preview talk.. ever since I heard her talk in this video.

JG is someone whom I read about in Ntl Geographic. I never really did research her life story, just as I never really did research the others life stories. So through this video, I learnt greatly from her. How her dream to go Africa was actualised, how much support her mum had given her and how much inspiration she had given to the rest because she believed what her mum said:
Jane, if you really want something, you work hard enough, you take advantage of opportunities, you never give up, you will find a way.
I remember vividly her part on "Makings of a scientist"
- Curoisity
- Asking questions
- Go find the answers straight away
- Think you will find it on your own
- Make a mistake, but don't give up
And of course the famous joke on Tarzan marrying the other Jane which even the speaker had repeated in the talk that day.
I am still pondering deeply on this J sign.. while these songs are playing in the background. Oh although "Circle the World" is related to this JGI video, I personally prefer "Tell Me Why"... somehow I got smitten by his voice and affected by the words
Is that what my life is for
To waste in a world full of war
Can someone tell us why we let the forest burn?
CIRCLE THE WORLD

What if we could circle the world
Flying peace doves beneath the sun
Giant twenty foot wings of fabric
That are handmade by everyone
Once a year we circle the world
Saying ain’t it time to bury the guns
Our time has come and we have begun
To Circle the World
It's a dream and it's a vision
It's a prayer that we may see
When every person, every creature
Will be treated with dignity
When every war will be a memory
We never shall repeat
Our time has come and we have begun
To Circle the World
What if we could circle the world
Flying peace doves beneath the sun
Giant twenty foot wings of fabric
That are handmade by everyone
Once a year we circle the world
Saying ain’t it time to bury the guns
Our time has come and we have begun
To Circle the World
It’s a parade and it’s a party
Giant puppets with many drums
It’s a song with many rhythms
That is sung in many tongues
It’s a giant snake dance
In every country beneath the sun
Our time has come and we have begun
To Circle the World
What if we could circle the world
Flying peace doves beneath the sun
Giant twenty foot wings of fabric
That are handmade by everyone
Once a year we circle the world
Saying ain’t it time to bury the guns
Our time has come and we have begun
To Circle the World

Tell Me Why
- Declan Galbraith
In my dreams children sing
A song of love for every boy and girl
The sky is blue the fields are green
And laughter is the language of the world
Then I wake and all I see is a world full of people in need
Tell me why, does it have to be like this
Tell me why, is there something I have missed
Tell me why, I don't understand
When somebody needs somebody
We don't give a helping hand
Tell me why
Every day I ask myself what I have to do to be a man
Do I have to stand and fight
To prove to everybody who I am
Is that what my life is for
To waste in a world full of war
Tell me why, does it have to be like this
Tell me why, is there something I have missed
Tell me why, I don't understand
When somebody needs somebody
We don't give a helping hand
Tell me why
Tell me why
Tell me why
Just tell me why
Why why, do the tigers run
Why why, do we shoot the gun
Why why, do we never learn
Can someone tell us why we let the forest burn?
(why,why do we say we care)
Tell me why (why,why do we stand and stare)
Tell me why (why,why do the dolphins cry)
Can some one tell us why we let the ocean die ?
(why,why if we're all the same)
Tell me why (why,why do we pass the blame)
Tell me why (why,why does it never end)
Can some one tell us why we cannot just be friends?
