When people find out my son Sam is a competitive mathlete, they usually ask if my husband and I are “math persons”. The answer is definitely not.
Ninth grade was 21 for Sam. To prepare for a competition, he took 22 practice tests, which were sometimes as 23 as three hours. In the end, he didn't do as well as he'd hoped and was 24 by a math camp he'd applied to.
He wandered into my office one day last spring, murmuring.
“I just feel like the whole year's been a 25 .”
I get it. How many days-weeks, months-have I “wasted” writing the 26 scene over. and over again? Writing a novel sometimes feels like two steps forward, one step back. 27 whenever I feel like that, I try to 28 myself that no matter what happens with my book, I've 29 the time I've spent working on it. The delight I find in writing is 30 for me.
“Nothing's ever wasted. You may not have gotten the 31 you wanted, but as you try to solve the 32 problems, you are making progress with each effort you make.”
He shrugged (耸肩). “I feel like everyone else did better than me.”
Sam was talking about the 33 boards, where math kids come together to share resources and, more often than not, 34 their wins.
“I know it feels that way, but it isn't true. You know people 35 their successes far more than their 36 ," I said, as much to myself as to Sam.
Just like Sam, I can't control the 37 , only my input. To devote time to something with no 38 of its success is risky and 39 But, then again, so is everything.
And you don't need to be a(n) 40 person to know that.
