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 was1for Sam. To prepare for a competition, he took2practice tests, which were sometimes as3as three hours. In the end, he didn't do as well as he'd hoped and was4by 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 a5."
I get it. How many days-weeks, months-have I "wasted" writing the6scene over and over again? Writing a novel sometimes feels like two steps forward, one step back.7whenever I feel like that, I try to8myself that no matter what happens with my book, I've9the time I've spent working on it. The delight I find in writing is10for me.
"Nothing's ever wasted. You may not have gotten the11you wanted, but as you try to solve the12problems, 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 the13boards, where math kids come together to share resources and, more often than not,14their wins.
"I know it feels that way, but it isn't true. You know people15their successes far more than their16," I said, as much to myself as to Sam.
Just like Sam, I can't control the17, only my input. To devote time to something with no18of its success is risky and19. But, then again, so is everything.
And you don't need to be a(n)20person to know that.
