  4. I think that you can achieve anything in life if you try and put all your effort in. This goes to show that you should never judge a person's ability as you never know what this personn is capable of.

  7. Thank you for all those students that had responded to the questions set on the article. Education is a lifelong experience – everyone learns. Being a parent and husband had made me wanting to learn new things all the time, thanks to the Internet I am able to search for information and learn lots of new things. My passion is to save money by learning to do things myself, for example, I would service my own motorbike and car by changing the engine oil, oil filter, spark plugs and any minor jobs. I am really thankful of the motorbike and car forums where good people provide advices on how to fix the problems you have. I think I had saved a lot of money having self-taught myself on motorbike and car mechanics.

  9. Its great that someone who is 15 years old is able to get a first class degree in Maths, it puts many university students to shame who are unable to get good degrees. It also shows that he has a passion for Mathematics and would hopefully use that in the future to get good career as a professor, or doctor.

  11. Things like this just show how great someone can be when they put their mind to it. Something many of us struggle to do in todays generation. Sitting your maths GCSE at 11 is extraordinary.

  12. I think that in order to gain great achievements, a person must be dedicated and be passionate about the things they do (Must think of it as a fun hobby, rather than as a chore). This will lead to high achievements being obtained. I taught myself how to fix a broken laptop screen. I did this from watching YouTube videos and reading blogs and posts online. I think I had saved a lot of money having self-taught myself and also now have the knowledge to fix other broken laptop screens in the future.
