 Falling in Love
|
"The key is to look for inspiration, not something else. This brings us back to falling in love. If you want to excel in math, find a way to fall in love with it. Often the way to engage a topic that seems, shall we say, outside of the scope of your natural interest, is to learn the human story behind the subject. Learn about the lives of the great scientists, mathematicians, the great artists, statesmen, war heroes, religious leaders, etc.
"This is one reason that classic fiction is often the most read of the classics list--the stories speak to us. But whatever it is you feel called to study--if you want to really learn Shakespeare, or whatever--find a way to fall in love with it. Find a teacher who loves it; find a work that interests you for the human interest of it; find a way to invest yourself so that you can fall madly in love."
