“If you want really to do your best in an examination, fling away the book the day before, say to yourself, ‘I won’t waste another minute on this miserable thing, and I don’t care an iota whether I succeed or not.’ Say this sincerely, and feel it, and go out and play, or go to bed and sleep, and I am sure the results next day will encourage you to use the method permanently.” — William James

succeed or not.’ Say this sincerely, and feel it, and go out and play, or go to bed
and sleep, and I am sure the results next day will encourage you to use the
