Will Hunting (Matt Damon) has a genius-level IQ but chooses to work as a janitor at MIT. When he solves a difficult graduate-level math problem, his talents are discovered by Professor Gerald Lambeau (Stellan Skarsgard), who decides to help the misguided youth reach his potential. When Will is arrested for attacking a police officer, Professor Lambeau makes a deal to get leniency for him if he will get treatment from therapist Sean Maguire (Robin Williams).

Via: Sahil Bloom : This scene from Good Will Hunting is one of my all-time favorites. https://x.com/SahilBloom/status/1982110526336356434 Two takeaways:

  1. You can read every book ever written, but knowledge means little without real-world experience.
  2. Every single person you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about.
