So, you’re stuck taking a class and
having to learn stuff that you, most likely, will never
need. Why do you have to even take this class?!
I mean, it’s all SO unfair! This crud is standing
between you and your dreams!
Well, everyone on the planet
has decided that you need a certain amount of math
to get a college degree. That’s the deal.
Why do you think this is? Is it because you’ll
need math for your job? Not likely. So
what is it?
Math trains you to think…
and to figure things out. Hey, isn’t that one
of the six things on our success list? Sure
is, Bud! (Check out my success list here.)
OK, so you say you’ve heard
THAT line before… and you’re not buying it.
Remember that you want to
be successful. A successful person would
figure out a way to use a class like this to his or
her advantage. A successful person would want
to take this seemingly bad situation and twist it
around. A successful person would take these
lemons, make lemonade AND SELL IT! Hmmm…
So, here’s the silver
bullet – the secret to success – the key to
surviving this algebra thing:
It’s not
about the math!
You’re
not in a math class!
THIS
IS A CLASS IN SUCCESS TRAINING!
You’re going to use your
algebra class to learn how to be successful.
You’re going to learn how to be creative, how to
think and figure things out and how to self-teach
(this is the most important one). It just so
happens that the subject you’re going to use to
learn these things is Algebra.
The confidence will come
quickly as you conquer this algebra stuff. Hey, if
you can learn this, you can learn anything.
You’ll attack the rest of your classes.
Nothing will scare you anymore (except spiders).
The positive attitude and
the drive are up to you. These are things that
have to come from deep inside YOU! These are
your decisions… All you have to do is to
decide to have them and they are yours… and no one
can take them away! These are the two most
important things to get you started.
I know you’re still skeptical at
this point, but bear with me… and trust me. I’ve taken
hundreds of mathphobes worse than you and turned them into
savage algebra animals who can rip through the most
treacherous of algebra exams with relative ease!
Keep reading and check out those algebra lessons! You
can do it!
