Teaching Mathematics using origami

I met an old friend (not that she is old, we just have a long acquantance dating back over 20 years) who is teaching mathematics in Melbourne here. She won several teaching awards over the year.

One of the most impressive thing I found is her insight expressed in the following equation:
S=et
where S is success, e is effort and t is time.

In plain English, success is the effort in the power time.

Very inspiring.
