There's always someone smarter than you.


Being intelligent and knowledgeable are good traits to have since it unlocks deeper avenues for your mind to wonder and solve problems. That being said, intelligence and knowledge have no utility if you choose to keep it theoretical rather than applying it to help others.
And it’s this very paradox which explains that so many smart and capable people fall into where they enjoy learning for the sake (which is fine) but have zero results or impact they’ve made for the world using that knowledge or expertise.
So while yes, there always will be people smarter than you out there, if you act now on the goals and dreams you desire, that pool of contenders shrinks—since almost nobody acts on the ideas they’ve accumulated.
So go on and do it! And don’t be afraid to use a few of my resources to help you along your academic journey.

Coming Soon: How to Understand Physics as a Science!
Because physics is the most fundamental science, its laws can be described using highly accurate and highly specific mathematical equations that map cleanly onto reality. However, most people struggle in introductory physics courses because it’s laws—such as Newton’s second law and conservation of momentum—are introduced as equations to solve problems before being properly understood and read as statements about nature.
And because most physics curriculums emphasize problem-solving before intuition, that leaves most students—even the best ones—unsure about what they’re calculating.
That’s why I’m building a guide which focuses on teaching physics intuitively as a science so that students can understand how to read equations as statements of nature and graph them so that they understand what to do when they run into a new practice problem.
Once you understand the science, you’ll never have to memorize a problem set again!

The hardest part about math isn’t the raw calculations: it’s understanding what the math means when rearranging and graphing functions. Most students aren’t trained to interpret the math from a qualitative perspective which is why many students who are ‘good at math’ struggle in introductory chemistry, physics, and engineering courses.
That’s why I’ve created the Ultimate Algebra Guide for Science & Engineering Majors which covers all of the relevant concepts from algebra, trigonometry, and precalculus courses that are applicable for science & engineering majors condensed into a 700+ page guide!
