While anticipating the funding decision from Cambridge University, Jameswilliams insisted that the admission offer was worth celebrating in the moment as it came from an institution where the great Darwins and Newtons passed through.

He appreciated his lecturers and guides who had been a key part of his academic success from the university up to the present moment.

Jameswilliams advised netizens to never let their excellence be in doubt, encouraging them to pursue and seek academic success as he did. His tweet partly read:

"...Even with the funding decision coming later on, an offer from an institution that cradled the Darwins, Newtons, and Turings is one that I insist is worth celebrating in the moment, no matter what anxiety holds.
"Anxiety has always been a double-edged sword for those of us who dare to combine intelligence with a heightened sense of responsibility. We often postpone acknowledging our wins because we are intelligent enough to be acutely aware of the coming hurdles. So we huddle it all up and say, “when the win is finalised.” But is a win ever finalised? What win in the history of wins is not responsibility in disguise?
