How to keep going when life roads are foggy?

Speedy windstorms going through sea cliffs, deep blue waters inviting seabirds for a drop, endless rolling moors hiding small villages in the hugging hills – these are the landscapes of the far north of Scotland where the whole Cormack’s family tree rooted to. But he was born where grasslands, palms and jacaranda trees make the most natural scenery, in Johannesburg, South Africa.

His great-grandfathers were mainly involved in fishing industry, his father was a telecommunications specialist curious about mechanical and electrical gadgets, his mother was a teacher and a painter, and he, interested in astronomy and theatre, became a physicist and got his Nobel Prize in the field of Physiology or Medicine.

It is easy to think that Allan MacLeod Cormack spent long time being not at his place or doing not what he was meant to do, but wait: each his experience formed him as a personality and as a professional, even though life did sometimes look unstable or illogical.
