WANT TO TAKE OFF LIKE DANTZIG DID?
WHAT IF HE'D BEEN TOLD THEY WERE UN-SOLVABLE??
What if he believed he couldn't do it?
In 1939, 24-year-old George Dantzig began his graduate studies at the University of California at Berkeley.
"I arrived late one day to one of [Jerzy] Neyman's classes," he later recalled. "On the blackboard were two problems which I assumed had been assigned for homework. I copied them down. A few days later I apologized to Neyman for taking so long to do the homework - the problems seemed to be a little harder to do than usual. I asked him if he still wanted the work. He told me to throw it on his desk. I did so reluctantly because his desk was covered with such a heap of papers that I feared my homework would be lost there forever.
"About six weeks later, one Sunday morning about eight o'clock, Anne and I were awakened by someone banging on our front door. It was Neyman. He rushed in with papers in hand, all excited: 'I've just written an introduction to one of your papers. Read it so I can send it out right away for publication.'
For a minute I had no idea what he was talking about.
To make a long story short, the problems on the blackboard which I had solved thinking they were homework were in fact two famous unsolved problems in statistics. That was the first inkling I had that there was anything special about them."
Dantzig, George (1914-2005) American statistician [noted for his development of the simplex method of linear programming]
Got a problem? Why not "make it homework". Maybe this will calm your brain so you can apply your top thinking. Our emotions effect our ability to perform in all areas of our lives!
