• Do you feel ill-equipped to solve the problem?
Challenges are essential to life and help to develop skills that can help in other areas of ones life. For instance, you wrote to us to ask your question, but a little time exploring on the Internet might have helped more than we can. Do you know why? Because the fun is in the discovery and discovery is possible for anyone if they open their minds and take the first step with an open mind to see what they can learn. Unfortunately many of us do not do that, and we lose out when we seek ready-made answers.
When I learnt the times tabel, I learnt it the old-fashioned way, by memory. It was fun in the sense that we learnt the times table to a musical rhythm, but O tell you what, I never really did learn that way. What I learnt was a few tricks, or should I say steps, that helped me to find the answer, and with time, that method has helped me to gte the answer in about the sam time as anybody else.
