Make sure you read all the way to the bottom of this post before doing anything else for the valuable lesson from my 5th and 6th grade math teacher, Mr. Ambrose. I promise it will be rewarding.
We have added so many exciting improvements and new features at QuantumListing. Here are just a few:
And now, here is the lesson from Mr. Ambrose. On the first day of 5th grade math class, Mr. Ambrose handed out a quiz with 30 problems, saying that we would have 5 minutes to complete it. The instruction at the top of the page was to read the whole quiz over before solving any of the problems. Looking at the daunting task of solving all those problems in such a limited period of time short circuited that first instruction, and I was off to the races, solving problems as fast as I could.
Behind me, I heard one classmate put down his pencil after about 30 seconds. I was puzzled, but plowed ahead with my quiz without giving it further thought. At the end of the 5 minutes, Mr. Ambrose announced "time's up". I had 4 or 5 questions left. Without collecting the quiz papers, he said Neil had gotten an A and the rest of us had failed. There was one smiling kid in the back row, and the rest of us were sitting in shocked disbelief.
Had we read through the quiz as instructed, we would have seen that the last line was to put down your pencil without answering any of the questions. Only Neil did that.
So, why do I bring that up now? If you have read this far, click HERE to send me an email, and I'll extend your Premium Membership by 3 months. If you are not already a member, join and then come back to this post and send me an email.
