A mind for numbers

•We develop a passion for what we are good at. "The mistake is thinking that we aren't good at something, we do not have and can never develop a passion for it".
•Be patient with yourself - as your ease with the material grow, you'll find yourself enjoying it more and more. And the payoff is well worth the effort.
•Learning doesn't progress logically so that each day just adds on additional neat packet to your knowledge shelf. Sometimes you hit a wall in constructing your understanding. Things that made sense before can suddenly seem confusing.
This type of 'knowledge collapse' seems to occur when your mind is restructuring its understanding - building a more solid foundation.
Remember - it takes time to assimilate new knowledge. You will go through some periods when you seen to take an exasperating step backward in your understanding. This is a natural phenomenon that means your mind is wrestling deeply with the material.
You'll find that when you emerge from these periods of temporary frustration, your knowledge base will take a suprising step forward.
•It's important to transform distant headlines into daily ones; attack them bit by bit. Big tasks need to be translated into smaller ones that show up on daily task list.
The only way to walk a journey of a thousand miles is to take one step at a time.
