The wisdom of Socrates is that he knew he was a fool.
Long ago I saw an interview (60 Minutes) with acting coach Stella Adler, a student of Stanislawski. When she him asked about finding purpose in life he replied, “don’t do this. To find your true path, find something you like, and do it like Hercules”.

Math is my path, not a job. It is me.
