Special Ed teacher Jim Westphal was in the Green Room with me helping students take a geometry quiz. The room's radiator started making a terrible whining, ratcheting, pained squeal. Kids, distractable, just settling down to do the mental work of the geometry quiz, begin to take protest and unsettle. Immediately, Jim says "it's temporary."
I'm imagining this is a long distance runner technique, something to say to yourself to not give up effort and concentration.
