Abstract

Many mathematicians are creative and good at languages because they can see the patterns. Femi found the biggest challenge in writing The Upper World to be self-doubt. But with the help of his friend, he persevered and ended up publishing this fantastic book. Be honest with yourself about whether you've done your best and if you have, you can be proud of yourself.
