🐻🚀 there’s 2 types of strength: (1) how hard you can push in the short-term, and (2) how long you can hold a position over the long-term. I’m not that strong in the short-term, but I am very strong in holding on over the long term: - I’ve organized the zoom mixers, every 2 weeks for 5.5 years now - I’ve maintained the job board, every week for 3 years now - I’ve organized the food court events, every month from 4 years now I learned this long-term strength at Cornell, when it was prelim after prelim, and problem set after problem set, climb up the slope in between, with freezing weather everyday, it really teaches you long-term strength the short-term strength is the more visible one, but it’s the long-term strength in holding a position, withstanding all difficulties, over many years, that’s the only way to make a long-term impact in the world
