Generalization:
“If you try to remember all the special case experiences of which your life is composed, your brain will be very quickly overloaded in the given category of recall. It is going to take too long to get this information back and sorted out to use. Instead of trying to deal in all the special cases, deal exactly with the opposite; work towards the great generalizations. Mathematics is one of the great generalizations and so I’ve worked and kept myself at mathematics. By understanding the fundamentals of mathematics, I can now understand special case behaviors very rapidly. This is one of the major strategies.”
