The time will come, when you look back and realise that you were achieving lots of positive things all along.

It's not short hand!!! It's physics. Newton's laws of motion are explaining inertia. That's what F=MA explains. It's why you need a force to cause an acceleration.
You can't understand how it works without the concept of inertia

a property of matter by which it continues in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, unless that state is changed by an external force.
Messed up turn to Final, was too high and too far right. So I did a couple of S turns and got lined up in good time*. A small prompt that I was a bit low just before the fence (too high, too low, come on?!), corrected, pulled the power just where threshold probably was, slight back pressure, saw the runway coming up, raised nose steadily, gently touched down
