I'm saying that if you keep guessing without proof, you will ultimately fail.

realitywillslapyou · Answer

Oh, I get my proof! I just sometimes have a hard with things you I try my best.

anonymous · Answer

@HannaaLovee... It is important to know the basic fundamentals, but that will only get you so far.  
If you need a thorough explanation of a topic, please ask, because when you go onto more in-depth you'll need to have a solid foundation.
