He is now affectionately known as \u201cThe Maths Evangelist\u201d as a result of the statement he coined during one of his many interviews on DSTV\u2019s Mindset channel, he said, \u201cI am the appointed maths evangelist, as I am the bearer of good news, news that mathematics can be done by all\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking as guest of honour at a mathematics motivational session with Grade 11 learners he had this to say:<br \/>\nMuch has been said about changing your mindset and becoming the person you want to be. This change is never going to occur by merely reading my book, The Mathematical Genius in You and expect a miracle to happen. Application of the principles I gave you is the key. You are the key \u2013 bearer of your success, if you permit yourself to be committed, then you will have the strength and endurance to fight all the way through until you achieve. A man called Sadat once said \u201cHe who cannot change the very fabric of his thought will never be able to change reality, and will never therefore, make any progress.\u201d This is particularly true in math context, where self-confidence and self-discipline will get you to that point where you can tackle any given problem. You become such a prolific problem solver that you are assured of becoming a mathematical genius. You can attain excellence if you work towards it whole heartedly with the intensity necessary and sufficient to guarantee it.<\/p>\n<p>Today is the day to start, don\u2019t wait for tomorrow because it might be too late. Start writing the book of your life today, no-one is ever going to that for you but yourself. This was well put by the musician by the name of Natasha Bedingfield in her song \u2018Unwritten\u2019, she had this to say:<br \/>\n\u201cFeel the rain on your skin, No-one else can feel it for you, Only you can let it in, No-one else, no-one else, Can speak the words on your lips, Treat yourself to words unspoken, Live your life with arms wide open, Today, is where your book begins, the rest is still unwritten.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You are the one who knows how badly you want to succeed in math, you are the only one who can surely feel the rain on your skin. It calls for innovation, creativity in your study habits so that you don\u2019t get tired and bored. Be open-minded, that is to live life with arms wide open, it will surely broaden your horizons. At the end, what is your book going to be? What will people remember about you? What will you think of yourself? Start now, take action and embark on this fulfilling mathematical journey. You are a mathematical genius if you choose to be and work towards it.<\/p>\n<p>Edzai Conilias Zvobwo is a holder of a BSc Honours in Mathematics from the University of Zimbabwe.
