Thanks for all the help guys :)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

glad to be of help, hopefully it all (or most of it) makes sense now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It does :)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that's awesome

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

then again, you're a smart girl, so you probably didn't need our help much lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol how do you know I'm smart? I could be a complete airhead! Hah

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

nah, you sound pretty smart to me and I'm just basing off what I've seen in terms of your replies and such

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well thank you. I try to be smart. Hah not saying I always am. But for the most part:)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yw and I'm sure you're just not giving yourself enough credit, I'm definitely guilty of that too lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well. That's kinda what a lot of people do.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

true, guess you have a point there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just dont really have a good reason to give myself credit. Im smart, but im smart because i use my ability to think and learn. Therefore, why should i be given credit for doing something that humans should be doing?;)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

well everyone doesn't have the same learning capacity sure they *should* have the same learning capacity, but they don't

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

besides, a lot of people (*raises hand* lol) are lazy and don't want to learn/work sometimes, so it's good that you do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

People dont have the same learning capacity because people dont try...if they did. I honestly believe everyone has the same potential if they put thier heart and mind into it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and..... dont say that! If your lazy and dont want to learn, why are you on here hm?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

well I get that way sometimes, not all the time

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

and you're right, just gotta put your mind to it, but some have it easier than others (like they can memorize stuff faster and such)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so it depends I think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I totally agree. But some people might have it easier then others, while the people who have it harder, have it easier in a different subject then others as well. Talents go hand in hand.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yeah definitely, some brains are crafted for specific talents and not for others...me personally I'm mathematically gifted a bit, but definitely not gifted in language, music or arts

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

wish i was, but oh well lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, for some reason im gifted in math, language, music, arts, history, and espesually science.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

dang that's quite a lot and in many diverse areas (esp in math and language and arts)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, i know. The hardest part for me was figuring out which gift made me happiest.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

hmm always the hardest decision, but you'll find it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Luckily i already have.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

oh that's great, in what field if you don't mind me asking? me I was torn between math and computer science, but I went with math

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i went with science. I found a huge intrest in astronomy and aerospace.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ooh very nice, I bet you'll "take off" (you've probably heard that for the 1000th time lol) for sure with that choice

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

and with companies like Space X coming onto the scene, they'll need more and more aeronatic engineers and such, so definitely a good move

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lolol...and yes, its a good move. But i honestly wouldnt have cared if it was a bad one. I absolutely know that this is what im suppost to be doing with my life.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yeah that's true, money shouldn't dictate everything, but it's definitely nice to have

OpenStudy (anonymous):

of course. lol

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

sorry, being completely obvious is a bad trait of mind lol

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

mine*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha not entirely. Being obvious is a good trait. It means you have common sense. lol

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

well those with common sense wouldn't state the completely obvious since people know about it already...at least I don't think they would

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They would, because just because you have common sense doesnt mean the person your telling it does to! haha

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

hmm good point, common sense isn't so common is it?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

such a strange counter-intuitive conundrum lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sadly Not anymore....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol right.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

could be that we're just so reliant on the internet, google, etc that we've forgotten the basics? idk

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

or it just might be that what's considered common sense is changing so fast

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its that people are to lazy to even know common sense. lol

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

meh I'm too lazy to counter-argue lol jk

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you're right in some regard, you'd be shocked how many people just blatantly say "give me the answers" (more or less) and I try to work with them, but they refuse and just want the answers only but on the other hand, times are really tough for some people that they work like crazy to get a better life, which is really admirable

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha. True. I wish people were forced to try in life.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

can't have a free society and force people at the same time

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

then again, we have a lot of things you're forced to do that you don't wanna do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Exactly. lol
