I came upon these ten excellent lessons offered up by a math prof at MIT.
Lesson One: You can and will work at a desk for seven hours straight, routinely.
Lesson Two: You learn what you don't know you are learning.
Lesson Three: By and large, "knowing how" matters more than "knowing what."
Lesson Four: In science and engineering, you can fool very little of the time.
Lesson Five: You don't have to be a genius to do creative work.
Lesson Six: You must measure up to a very high level of performance
Lesson Seven: The world and your career are unpredictable, so you are better off learning subjects of permanent value.
Lesson Eight: You are never going to catch up, and neither is anyone else
Lesson Nine: The future belongs to the computer-literate-squared.
Lesson Ten: Mathematics is still the queen of the sciences.
