“Learning and living” I like it!
There is a phrase that right now I do not remember the author that says: “Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose, likewise, sometimes you win and sometimes you learn”. To learn is to win in the future. Life is also win-win. It is like seeing the glass half full, where many see difficulties, the wise man sees an opportunity.
I also had differences with mathematics. Today I am reconciled with the practice and now I feel a more rational man.
