There are two different types of people in this world. One group of individuals loves math and the other group hates it. There doesn’t seem to be anybody in the middle.

Perhaps you can remember math class when you were in school. It was something that was challenging. Many people lived up to the challenge but are you somebody that always felt as if you were lagging behind?

The next time you look back on that part of your life, you can look back with a smile on your face. The reason why is that you were probably smarter at that time than you were at any other time in your life.
