Better to choose one, I think. Thurber was right in his analysis of these things (see his superb fable, "The Moth and the Star.") More important to strive toward something ambitious than to attain it. Einstein concurred, which is impressive as well. How about learning more math?

I am finding Lagrange tremendously inspiring to read (and his collected works are free online.) Such a fascinating man, and such a painstaking and elegant thinker! Astonishing richness and originality in his work, and it's all so beautifully wrought. Like Mozart, or Haydn.
