The main thing Euclid did for me was to enkindle a love for math as such. Geometry done that way is just so ... beautiful. Unfortunately I didn't have this experience until I was an undergraduate. For the prior 12 years of formal schooling, math mostly felt like repetitive drudgery with occasional flashes of excitement when I would learn a new technique.
