“‘To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.’ [The quote is] not mine, but it’s something that I truly believe in. I try to follow that in everything I do, you know, to, just, do your best in everything you can, when you can. Everything doesn’t work out perfectly all the time, and rarely does it work out perfectly how you want it to, and that’s life… even in the math room. Mistakes, that’s how we learn best, but again not stopping because they’re mistakes, or something didn’t work out the way you wanted it to. Turn that into motivation for the next time, the next scenario.”
