I am on my way of getting my Master's afterwards I want to pursue a PhD, however, I have this feeling that my PhD will never be as great as this work. How do I get over this fear? Besides that, this is obviously huge for Jeff, congratulations!! :)

What would be the consequences to you and your loved ones if you were to do a PhD that made a meaningful contribution to human knowledge but wasn't as great as this?

i am doing a phd now and i think of it this way: most likely no one is ever going to read your papers and certainly not your thesis

I make a point of reading thesis' on topics relevant to me (Masters and Doctoral) and I'm a college drop out.

If you are an aspiring actor, you will probably never become a star, but why is that to keep you from trying?

Getting a PhD...you should only do that if you want to try and make that big discovery (even if you'll more than likely fail), or are happy with standard academic work.
