I was reading G a book today - When Sophie Thinks She Can’t… Sophie is a young girl who has trouble with puzzles. She just can’t do them – or math, for that matter. So when Sophie’s teacher tells the class that they will be working on a math puzzle, Sophie feels discouraged. But her teacher assures both Sophie and her classmates that while they may be struggling to solve the puzzle they need to keep in mind the Most Important Word: “yet”. They haven’t solved the puzzle yet but should keep trying. Her teacher also explains how just like muscles get stronger with exercise, by thinking hard our brains get stronger too. As she continues to encourage the children, they find that by trying new methods they are able to solve the puzzle.
So the takeaway - the most important word == yet
