RE: Silver of the Day #28
When you're young, it's easier to care more what people think about you. That can keep you from asking questions and getting answers you want. When you're older/when you don't care what people think and you focus on your goals without fears of people not liking you... normally you're able to be more at peace, and you get where you want to go while making fewer mistakes. Good for you for asking questions and taking advantage of the opportunities you had.
Funny thing is, I think the only one who expected I know all the answers back then was me. It's unfortunate that we all think that everyone is looking at us when in reality, they're thinking, I hope the teacher doesn't call on me. We're all caught up in our own securities while we try to fake we're okay.
I guess some adults still do that, but life's too short to fake things.
It was fun asking questions and throwing stuff out there. I was old enough I could have intimidated some of my professors. They seemed to roll with though. :)
I learned quickly that the best way to avoid looking stupid in class was to answer one of the first questions that you knew. If you had already answered a question, then the teacher likely wouldn't call on you. Makes it nice for when there are questions that you don't know the answer to. Ha ha
