It's no big secret just exactly what the Sampson Approach is. If you've ever been to Sunday school (or just wanted a good excuse not to get a haircut), then you know that Sampson was really strong, because he didn't cut his hair (or drink wine, and some other things...the so-called "Nazarite vow", or whatever). Well, I didn't take a Nazarite vow, and I don't think any angels appeared with extraordinary instructions for my parents before I was born (note to my parents: if that did happen, it'd be nice to know), but I have been taking the Sampson Approach to medicine for the last month or so. (hint: if you capitalize things, they become real)
I say all that to say this: I've been preparing for the last month or two pretty hard-core for this exam I have in a couple of days, and I haven't had a haircut or shaved in about a month or so. I'm hoping that like it did for Sampson, this will improve my performance.
It may strike the reader that I have chosen the wrong biblical character to emulate in hopes of doing well on an exam, and that in fact I should have chosen Solomon. I would have done so, but it is much more difficult to get God to appear to you in a dream than it is to not get a haircut.
