“When I was a child, one image was drilled into my head and has stayed with me ever since: While I was goofing off or watching TV, Russian kids were studying math.

(This is what still makes vacations agony for me.)

Which meant that I would always just have to work a little harder to keep up or maybe even pull ahead. Like the turtle who raced the hare, I plowed forward, slow and steady.”
