Thank you Lateif for sending me the 'Four Principles: Conduct in Battle' e-mail. It gave a positive change of mentality towards many situations.
For example I had a final exam today, and there was some moments where I didn't quite know what I was doing; but I was able to fight my way
through it.
"Theres always one more thing you can do to make the odds more in your
favor"- Principle #2. When I found I was completly ignorant of a question,
rather than not even try,I wrote the authors name. Then I recalled a little
bit of the argument; I wrote that down too. I was able to answer the question
little by little; thanks to Principle #2.
At times I began to panic and loss focus because I was on a time restraint,
and fighting for ideas. But I paused for a moment and thought about what
I was doing but shouldn't and about what I wasn't doing that I should. So I
found that I was not concentrating but should have, and I was writing more than
I was supposed to-poor time managemet-when I shouldn't.
The bottom line is that I would have been worse on my exam if not for the
Four Principles: Conduct in battle. The concepts works on more than one battle
field. They work in Iraq and in the class room.
Thanks Lateif.
