[QUOTE="Ryder, post: 389910, member: 663"] Now that is worth saying and it says a lot :!: Reminds me of a friend of mine who was a math professor. Each class meeting he would call on a few students to "take the boards" and show how to work problems they were assigned the last class. If one did not know how, he would ask them another question. How much time did you spend on this material since the last class? Did you spend at least three hours? If they were sincerely trying and having trouble, he was willing to help them on a one to one basis. If they didn't have the sincerity and commitment, they deserved to fail. Any new thing you don't like, if you will apply yourself you will begin to learn. Then a funny thing happens. The more you learn, the more interesting it becomes. But with an attitude of "I don't like that crap", you are working against yourself. You are trying to learn and wanting to avoid it all at the same time. That is like having your foot on the accelerator and brake at the same time. Wasting time and burning gas. My daddy used to say, "get to work or go to the house." He had little patience with hanging around. Guess I am the same way. (When I say "you" I mean anybody/everybody) [/QUOTE]
