This is my favorite line in the post. Many people quit without realizing that when they quit, it is the time when they are almost about to succeed. “When you’re almost there, don’t give up.” This is my favorite line in the post.

We are experimenting with a "what-makes-geniuses-tick" column behind the scenes. These posts are a bit harder to write because we don't want to sound like wikipedia. And so - thanks for bearing with our goof-ups till we perfect the genius column and make them better. Hopefully - our next genius posts will hit the mark! Thank You again for your very valuable comment and for not unsubscribing :) Thanks Shane for your valuable feedback.

I wrote about Wiles because I thought it was a quirky story that I haven't seen explored on other blogs. The balance I struck while describing the math problem was precisely due to the points you listed: I didn't get too in-depth so that "non-math people" wouldn't be turned off, and I would hope that someone interested in math would have their curiosity piqued enough to look into the (lengthy) explanation further :) Shane,

Another consideration is your target audience: 1) Consider those put off by maths. When they see the word 'theorem', they'll probably immediately decide not to read your story as they'll thnk its about complicated mathematical guff. 2) People like me who enjoy maths are disappointed with how you didn't go into greater detail on the specifics of this problem, and how it was eventually solved - although I do understand how you can't have <i>the full 150 pages</i> in your account. <i><b>But don't worry, I won't be unsubscribing any-time soon!

Dedication is all relative, so I would say different levels and times are right for different endeavors... @ Leah - Storytelling always seems like the best way to show, but adding little summary points doesn't hurt :) @ Jenny – Yes, it really is an incredible example.
