Mindset

Most of the time, it requires only a moment of pause.

Overflow

“But what about my Cup?”

“We’ll get to it once mine is stable.”

Memorize

I used to hate it when, after either myself or a classmate complained about a lack of memory aids for a test, my mathematics professor would say, “Just rederive anything you don’t know! Then you don’t have to memorize it.” While I think they didn’t always appreciate the need for speed during tests, they were definitely on the right track for learning mathematics in general.

Joy

Distinguishing these curves for myself is a lifelong pursuit.

Jockeying

This is probably a physics thing, isn’t it?

Careful Opportunities

Which is why finding work that’s aligned with what you somewhat enjoy is so important.

Notational Bankruptcy

“Maybe you should go to the linguistics department.”

Utilize

I spent the whole afternoon putting these posters up around town, and then somebody brought them all back to me the next day. What’s up with that?

Scarcity Mindset

I must often remind myself that there will be more opportunities.
