    Sure, my teacher also. I fell in love at first sight with Chemistry. I said to my teacher. This is great, I would like to pursue this subject at A-level. (Age 16-18). However, although the period of 16-18 was difficult for me, I returned to education age 21 and clung to Chemistry actually as something, I could do. Unfortunately, yes. Perhaps he was right. Because my politics and law often brings me down. In medicine it's political. Although, I love men's health. I feel excluded. I can be the student perhaps but when it comes to money. These things are hard. The mainstream, and obvious choices of career are competitive in a hundred ways. Where, in taking a strange path sometimes it's an easier road!

    I remember my first chemistry class in form 2. The teacher walks in and says it doesn't make sense for half of you to even be in this class. She turned out to be a really nice person and great teacher but that was a traumatic introduction for 13 year olds. The school is the second seeded male secondary school in the country so the worst student was probably like #400 in the country from the secondary entrance exam. I also had a history teacher come into one of my maths classes once. I had written a garbage paper on the Cuban revolution and she very straightforwardly asked, "what garbage is this," in front of the entire class. I managed to get a 1 in that subject and she's one of my favourite teachers ever. Up until that moment I had never been singled out by a teacher for subpar work and realised I needed to improve.

    @Kiwi Korea I know how it feels. In primary school I had this one Maths teacher who used to tell me how stupid I was and when I'd ask about something in a lesson he'd reply with "don't bother" or "it doesn't interest you" with that smug dismissive hand gesture. I always thought I was stupid and "bad at maths" as so many people do. But with time and after meeting great teachers (including my father) I've grown to love maths and what it's capable of and I'm just finishing my Master's in Applied Mathematics & Data Science/AI which I'm very passionate about. Only difference between you and me is you're a bigger man that I am because I really fucking hate that guy.

    In the famous words of Stephen Hawking, "People who boast about their IQs are losers." The average probably isn't that high-- yes, having a high IQ is unquestionably useful when you're in school, especially primary to secondary (elementary to high) and in some degrees/courses up until you get your master's, but you have to look at what IQ actually measures. There's a thousand different "correct" answers to any IQ test question you can find, but only one is ever measured to be objectively correct. Essentially, getting a high score for an IQ test is just confirming that you think how people _think_ smart people think. Sounds kind of useless when broken down in that way. More importantly, having a high IQ could be detrimental to a researcher-- the very thing that separates Tomas Lindahl from other less decorated researchers in his field is that he had an idea none of them had. He thought in a way which someone was _not_ expected to think. Huge numbers are thrown around declaring that people like Newton or Einstein or da Vinci had crazy genius IQs-- even though these people never took IQ tests. If Newton went into an IQ test designed by a typical intellectual in the 17th century and used calculus to solve the patterns, I'd be surprised if he got even an average score. There's no way whoever was marking his paper (except maybe if it was Leibniz) would recognize that Newton was a genius. By all intents and purposes, they'd view him as an absolute fool. Similarly, if you were to ask someone from the 16th century what they though Copernicus' IQ was, you'd probably not end up with those startling figures that journalists like to make up. Scientists do have higher IQs as a whole, because they're the most educated of us. They have the most experience with mathematics and problem solving. However, in science, sometimes it's not knowing about the *obvious* answer, or the answer that the IQ test tells you is correct, it's about thinking of that *one* thing that nobody else has every thought of. There's a reason why weirdos and misfits so often end up in our science textbooks: people who think wonky make for good scientists. People with high IQs make for good statisticians, and accountants, and economists-- which are all good jobs in their own right. But to say a high IQ is required or even useful in science is dumb. A high IQ will help you in school. A high IQ is a good thing to have as a resource-- it means you know how _other people think_ and that's useful. Relying on a high IQ or thinking it'll get you through life or that anyone with an IQ above 190 is going to change the world is dumb. Attaching someone's value to their ability to _calculate the same answer as a group of test makers_ for a question with _more than one valid answer_ is stupid. Is that room filled with a ton of intelligent people? Of course. But IQ isn't a way of measuring intelligence. Right now, there is no real valid way of measuring intelligence. And honestly, it shouldn't matter. Your value does not rely on intelligence. If a man who had an IQ of 80 discovered Calculus, it'd still be the same Calculus that Isaac Newton and Leibniz discovered. Newton and Leibniz never _took_ IQ tests: we just assume "Yes, they must have had great IQs because they were great scientists." If they took a modern day IQ tests they could be scoring IQs in the 60s for all we knew, however unlikely. In any case, everybody in that room has something more significant to them than what they potentially scored in a made-up glorified maths test. A _subjective_ maths test which is marked objectively.

    It’s just about impossible to overestimate the importance of a really good teacher. The one who gets you through a class for which you don’t have much aptitude. Or the teacher who recognizes your talent and pushes you to really develop it. The one who ignites rather than stifles curiosity, even if the object of that curiosity is unpopular.

    We all have teachers who fail us and continue on with their work but there are teachers who take the time to inspire you and help you achieve greater things. Both experiences are needed for one to make the choice in which their future will stand. Don’t give up on what you’re passionate about, you’ll make an impact on younger generations to come no matter how big or small you’re accomplishments may seem.

    Even I failed in Medical Chemistry in 2019, and 1 year has passed since then. Earlier back then, i was so highly depressed and felt miserable for losing a year. It was distressing to see my class friends getting promoted. But Mr Tomas Lindahl motivated me, I am grateful that i came across this video. His speech gave me the motivation. Thank you sir. You proved failures dont define you, and you went on to win the Nobel prize in Chemistry.

    Nobel laureates are some of the greatest humans of planet earth they inspire the whole human race to be their best selves in so many ways. I have always loved chemistry, it has always fascinated me, appealed to me in such a way no ther subjects ever could but life brought me to dental school, 4 years in my heart still longs for a subject I will never get the opportunity to study and do something on. Seeing a great man like him talking about his own life and what brought him to this great fulfilment is really inspiring for many hopeless students who have almost lost their way, so thank you.

    My English teacher in school threatened to call my parents to school because I wrote 'bitchface' in a story for an exam. I asked her to tell me a replacement word for it and that I did not know any other word for that word. She called me a failure and said that I would never do anything in life. My teachers in school never gave me anything more than 40s. Their hatred was so blatant that you could feel it. Well, I am pursuing masters in English and am the top in class right now. So, if anyone is feeling down because of your teachers, don't start questioning yourself and hating yourself like I had done. You will do much better later on in life.❤❤
