I like to ponder like Jim Simons

“I wasn’t the fastest guy in the world. I wouldn’t have done well in an Olympiad or a math contest. But I like to ponder. And pondering things, just sort of thinking about it and thinking about it, turns out to be a pretty good approach.” — Jim Simons, Mathematician and Quantitative Investor
