I just want to get a physics phd so bad anons. How can I make sure I achieve this lifegoal some time? I am currently in my last year of highschool and while I am under the best 5 students in my year and probably one of the best in math and science as well I am still too retarded I guess. I have a hard time comprehending rather complicated stuff on my own and I just fear that I might be unable to accomplish a satisfying degree.
How can I make sure that I reach my full potential? I am willing to dedicate a lot of time to it and I currently have enough spare time to start building a good foundation. Should I read something like pic related? The summary makes it look like a typical common sense packed into a book type of book. Anything else I should read? Any ideas on how I can improve my imagination and analytical thinking?
Please anons help me, I appreciate any advice you can give me.
