I hated Statistics too. So darn boring. We would read about a topic and then the teacher would go over it about a million times in class because people would ask the same questions over and over again. If they didn't require us to be there in order to turn in the assignments at the end, i probably would have skipped more. Or atlleast snuck out early. I just hated it. I mean how many times does the teacher have to explain the same darn thing before people get it?
If we were as industrious to become good as to make ourselves great, we should become really great by being good, and the number of valuable men would be much increased; but it is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness; and i pronounce it as certain that there was never yet a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous." - Ben Franklin
Imagine what good we can do if we all joined together, united as followers of Christ - M. Russell Ballard
