The Story of Bird

Once upon a time, there was a Bird from Tramtaria. He was wondering about what his goal in life was.
At first, he wanted to become a priest...
... then a sailor...
... a pop star...
... a fashion designer...
... but he was most enthusiastic about being a top sportman.
He played squash with such enthusiasm he broke his racket.
He even tried gymnastics, but he soon realized his figure is not well suited to it. Moreover, after the forward rolls, he felt dizzy.
Once he went bungee jumping, but he forgot his rope at home and was afraid to jump. He then decided to give up his sport career.
Wisely, he chose computer science. Working in Linux was a piece of cake for him.
For a while, he even worked for a well-known Linux company.
He was a very hardworking student, of course...

He was studying hard...
... sometimes even till early morning hours.
He then tackled a well-known open problem.
