I remember taking my first geometry quiz on theorems when I was a sophomore in High School. It was a pretty dismal day. I think I got 24 out of 100 questions right.
Needless to say – Geometry was not my thing. In fact, I was a downright failure at understanding Geometry theorems. I passed the class, but to this day, I could still not tell you the point of a theorem.
I tried golfing for a while, too. Parents made me take lessons, the whole thing. Let’s just say the trees around the fairways are a lot healthier and retain a lot more of their bark when I don’t play golf.
Truth is – I’m a failure at quite a bit in my life. Some failures I’m willing to share… others not so much.
I’m not as willing to share some of the bigger failures, because…well, we don’t like that term in our culture. Failure. We don’t like to talk about the things we’ve failed at.
