Talking about My Weakness and How did I Overcome It

I can still remember my maths score of my entrance examination to college, which is 79, while the full score is 150. which means I failed in the exam and only left me chances to go  ordinary universities even though the rest of my subject are above the average. And I tried to avoid anything which has anything to do with maths, so I choose the English major, which means I don’t have to study maths in the four years of my university life, or may be in the rest of my life. I kept my attitude to maths like this until I read a column named the Road to Financial Freedom written by Li Xiaolai, in which he strengthens the importance of thinking quality, which plays an indispensable role in making decisions, and those decisions make up your life. Then I figure that the time I gave up maths means I also gave up logical thinking, which is no doubt an important part of qualified thinking. So I decide to pick my maths up.

I started to choose some practices on maths, for example, how to use the money of bank to achieve my goal with least cost, say, interest  of loan or commission charge of credit card. Are they the same thing? Which way is cheaper if I want to choose instalment repayment? First, we need to clarify the concept of the two, interest is getting less while you are repaying more while the commission charge always remain the same even if you are keeping repaying the bank, that means, if you get 12,000 from the bank and choose a 12 months instalment repayment, you will save 390 yuan by choosing interest instead of commission charge.

That is only a small example of the application of maths.my point is, maths really improves my thinking quality, I cannot only easily recognize the trick played by bank and also can fix a  price for my tutoring school, to stay competitive and gain profit. In the future, I want to practice more on maths, like probability and statics, even the programming.
