This programme just woke me up. My sis was telling about how fun the show is and all. It was not until recently that I watched one show. It took me completely off guard. Before I watched, I was of the notion that of course, I am smarter than a fifth grader. 100 %. This is a no brainer.
It started as a fun game show to watch on a boring eening. However, as the show progressed, I realised somethis is wrong. You are outdated. And you are not match even to a first grader. That was a big insult! I saw the looks on the faces of the contestant. Man he was sweating. And the classmate he opted for was cool, reserved and locked in the answer just in a matter of seconds.
Haha, welcome to the real world wahi. Well, like a good student I always was and am, I accepted my defeat and am now in the process of rediscovering myself. I have shared some tips and hindsight in the following article. Do read and see if you could pick up something that you could apply as well.
