Perhaps my ideal (or perhaps worst) quality is that I'm totally disappointed with my very own understanding.
This may be why I have actually shown a particular skill for mathematics and physics. Simply knowing is never sufficient for me; I have to at least aim to carefully recognise the thinking behind the mathematics I do, then, take my knowledge to its limitations. Asking all the time why something is the way it is, probably to the annoyance of my lecturers, is something I'm obliged to do. I, along with lots of others, find this Socratic method of knowing and also teaching to be unbelievably helpful in building a fundamental understanding of mathematics and physics from fundamental concepts, as well as I endeavour to educate in precisely this manner.
I wish I can encourage trainees with my extreme love of maths and physics or, at least, expose the topics as far much less difficult than they show up. Naturally not every person is a mathematician, and different minds learn at different speeds, nonetheless I will certainly intend to leave a long lasting and beneficial perception.
