After watching

V. Discuss:

1. Nash devotes himself to finding something unique, a mathematical theorem that would be completely original. How important do you think it is to use a unique and/or original way of thinking when studying, working or applying yourself in everyday life? Do you think that Nash could of won a Nobel prize without being dedicated to finding a unique and original idea?

2. “If we all go for the blonde and block each other, not a single one of us is going to get her. So then we go for her friends, but they will all give us the cold shoulder because no on likes to be second choice. But what if none of us goes for the blonde? We won't get in each other's way and we won't insult the other girls. It's the only way to win.”

Do you agree that when you work for the better of yourself and the group things tend to work out better than if you work for the better of just yourself? Why/ why not?

3. “I still see things that are not here. I just choose not to acknowledge them. Like a diet of the mind, I just choose not to indulge certain appetites; like my appetite for patterns; perhaps my appetite to imagine and to dream.”

Do you think that everyone struggles with some type of diet of the mind? (Things we keep ourselves from doing or saying, even though we think about it often) Why/why not?

4. “I've made the most important discovery of my life. It's only in the mysterious equation of love that any logical reasons can be found. I'm only here tonight because of you. You are the only reason I am... you are all my reasons.”

Do you agree that love is the most important thing in life? Why/why not?

Put these 5 things in order of importance and explain why you have chosen this order: love, education, work, family and friends and money.
