The mathematical equivalent of thinking like a child, who uniquely looks at the world imaginatively, playfully, or creatively, much to the delight of others who might even experience an aha! moment from their spontaneous response or behavior.
If mathematical constants like e and 𝛷 were to think like pi, by consciously or freely promoting themselves regularly, there is no reason that they couldn’t be as popular and interesting as the beloved π.

When everybody goes through a hard time every now and then, but this is necessary not only to build up their character and faith, but each trial propels them to a greater height and a higher plane.
You may go through a flood, fire, or famine, but if you know who God is in your life, the pain and frustration are often a mere set-up for something greater that you are about to experience in your life.

When the US is toying with the idea of imposing exorbitant tariffs on foreign publishers, which would make it hard for them to ship their wallet-friendly, brain-unfriendly math titles to American homeschoolers, students, and teachers.
A number of hardcore Trumpublicans want their senators to push for an “America First” math bill to protect local authors from being outwitted by their foreign counterparts, whose titles cost a fraction of most dear inch-deep-mile-wide US math textbooks.

When someone’s worth as a person in society is often defined by their grade in school math, which means that the odds of their securing a promising career or future look bleak if they were not born with the “mathematical gene” or didn’t have a silver-spoon upbringing.
Guesstimate how many millions of otherwise intelligent people worldwide have their dreams dashed every year, because the course they plan to study in college requires them to have a passing grade in math or statistics or calculus—in other words, what percentage of the world’s population has been unfairly or unjustifiably been masked by math?

1. Europeans who lived in colonial Singapore.
2. Eurasians who lived in the British colony in the early 1900s.
3. Malayans who lived in Singapore when it was expelled from Malaysia in 1965.
4. Present-day citizens who are tolerant of other races and religions, and ready to defend multiracial Singapore.

Today's younger Singaporeans are a complaining and an ungrateful lot: most take Singapore's peace and prosperity for granted—terrorism, nationalism, and antiglobalization could usher them into a future they'd be unprepared for.

Whisky whose ratio of water to alcohol is a whole number made up of digits with holes like 6, 8, or 9.
Some math profs have this weird drinking habit of not partaking in any types of whisky other than holey spirit.

The slogan by health experts to pro-Trump white racists, supremacists, and evangelicals, who were dissuaded by scientifically challenged pastors and conspiracists from getting a Covid-19 vaccine, because doing so could speed up their trip to the other side of eternity.
Doctors reminded hardcore Trumpists and QAnonists that even their “anointed” political savior had been vaccinated, so the message to them is: “Trump got a shot, so should you!”
