Before Breakfast

Listening to: The Corrs' What Can I Do

Keeping my promise to a1b to put out a summary of what transpired during fri's "lecture". so here i go:

1. Planning is important, but picking the right question is even more impt.
after all, do you really want to spend 1 minute picking the question, and 29 mins planning for the wrong one?

For all the cliches, perhaps, remembering to "look before you leap" will do you lots of good.

2. The safest bet- my fave topic. What's there to pick if my fave is right before me?
As if. Don't follow this mantra too blindly. Other factors do matter.

Factor #1:
the keywords.
Do you understand all of them?
Have you noticed all of them?
Can they be defined easily? Or is it too subjective?

Factor #2:
the implication of the qn.
Do you really know what it wants?

Do give every question the light of the day. Make sure you evaluate every qn in your mind before you start planning.
