be playful
LOVE every minute of it
seek the Asymmetry in the Symmetry
use good tools (sagemath / pen & paper)
respect the ancients (Euclides, Diophantes, Fermat, Euler, Gauss, Galois, Erdos & co.)
contemplate the essence of main actors (p, n, ζ, ...) and their governing principles (quadratic reciprocity, (cyclotomic) polynomials, ...)
be ready that - if Truth demands it - You will fail as others (e.g. me) have failed
