# '''Giving Up and Burning Out:''' Physics is brutally unforgiving. If you're wrong, you're wrong, and you're going to be wrong a lot before you start being right. For this reason, it is important to remember that our current knowledge about physics and math has been built up by some of the most brilliant people in the world over the course of thousands of years. It is bound to take a substantial amount of time to learn even a fraction of what has been discovered. You are not "stupid" if something doesn't make sense to you over the course of days, weeks, months, or even years. Confusion is an experience that unites all people who have ever studied physics; confusion is the indicator that you still have room to grow! The trick is to ''dive deep enough into the subject that some things are unfamiliar, but not so far that everything is familiar''. This positions you to learn new things without battering your confidence to the extent that you burn out and give up.
