2A In Need of Advice

I took out a lot of useful tips from the articles I read last week. One of the articles I read was “Work Hard or Work Smart”.   It didn’t have much information, but I did take one tip of advice, which was to always make a plan before you start the day.  I really do like this idea because college is so different from high school since you have to really customize a schedule that works for you so that you get all your assignments done on time.

            The most interesting thing I took from all the readings this week was from the article “I Won’t Hire People who use Poor Grammar.” It talked about how you need good grammar to look more professional and it’s important to use good grammar in blogs.  What really caught my attention was the article had said “people who make fewer grammar mistakes tend to make less mistakes in general.” At first I wasn’t sure if I believed that was true, but as I thought about it more it seemed to make sense. For example, people who don’t make grammar mistakes have to read a lot, study, and practice at it.   All three of these things not only help you with grammar, but also improve your knowledge and your ability to get things done.

            Lastly, the most important quote I picked up from all these readings was from the article ‘The Learning Knights of Bell Telephone.” “A well trained man knows how to answer questions, an educated man knows what questions are worth asking” I like this quote because its all true.   Someone who is filled with knowledge will have a better answer to a question then someone with no knowledge. I like the second part of the quote a lot because how do you really know what questions are worth asking? I personally think any question is a good question.  So how could a question from an educated man be better than a question from someone who’s not as educated? All in all, I believe all questions are worth asking whether you’re educated or not because once you receive your answer you are benefiting yourself.
