"Mathematics is hard. It’s very hard. Not many people can do it at a high level. Maybe you can. Maybe you can’t. I don’t know. You don’t know, either, and you won’t know unless you try very, very hard. Figure out what trying your very hardest looks like for you and then do it. Make sure that if you fail, it won’t be for lack of trying.”
