Note to Self.

I came across this piece of advice from non other than Scott Aaronson, in this lecture:

We'll have a few problem sets -- they're useful for you, and also they give me feedback about how much you're understanding. But here's the rule: you won't have to solve all the problems. You're allowed to write down, "yeah, Problem 4's a real stumper. I thought about it, I don't know the answer. Here are some easier problems that I can solve." I'll evaluate that the same way I'd evaluate a research paper that said a similar thing. On the other hand, if you have no idea how to solve the problem but you pretend to know -- for example, if you write gibberish that goes on and on and on, hoping that something vaguely resembling an answer will be buried in there just by chance -- that counts negatively. You'd do much better by leaving the question blank.

I plan to implement this in my life from now on. Everything I question shall be filled with honesty. Everything I do will have a backbone and a real passion behind it.
