That said, physics was always a challenge for me no matter how hard I worked but in chemistry and math the harder I worked the more rewarding it became.Mardelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04850551308931710502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15350975.post-72607467204121529302010-08-25T10:29:26.366-07:002010-08-25T10:29:26.366-07:00Since we're talking about math, let's make...Since we're talking about math, let's make like a mathematician and see if we can find a still more general result. <br /><br />"If you don't find that your X class is tough, then perhaps you should take a more challenging X class."<br /><br />In my case, I'm not a physicist because I found my physics class easy, but because it was one of the few classes I took in high school that weren't easy (= boring).Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16618601657441653057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15350975.post-67984055295839794102010-08-24T05:50:35.717-07:002010-08-24T05:50:35.717-07:00For me Math class was tough.

It wasn't until later that I realized that that was a good thing - a sign that I wasn't working hard enough. I was able to pass that insight to my daughter and she was able to conquer calculus and graduate with honors. Math class is supposed to be tough.Little Hunting Creekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15581836733935812927noreply@blogger.com
