In additin t learning “wh” invented “what”, hwever, Mclean als likes her students t learn the answers t the “why” and ”hw” questins. Accrding t Mclean,” When students learn the answers t these questins, they are better prepared t recgnize pprtunities fr inventing and mre mtivated t give inventing a try.”

3.When it cmes t success in business and success in life, there are few qualities as imprtant as cnfidence.
Peple naturally have different levels f cnfidence. Sme have a higher level f cnfidence than thers d, but even thse whse cnfidence is lacking can learn t build their level f cnfidence and reach their mst imprtant gals. Increasing self cnfidence is ne f the mst cmmn reasns peple give fr seeking the help f psychlgists and ther prfessinals.
One f the many places where a greater level f cnfidence is useful is in the wrkplace. We all knw hw difficult it can be, fr instance, t ask the bss fr a raise. This prcess can be extremely difficult fr thse wh lack cnfidence in their wn abilities. After all, if yu are unsure abut yur wn abilities, hw will yu ever cnvince yur bss that yu deserve mre mney fr the wrk yu d?
Even if yu are nt asking fr that big raise, having plenty f cnfidence in yur abilities is imprtant t success. If yu are certain f yur abilities, chances are that thse arund yu, whether they are yur cwrkers, yur clleagues r yur superirs, will see that cnfidence, and that will help t assure them that yu are the best at what yu d.
Being thught f as the persn t g t, and being seen as an expert in yur chsen field, is naturally very imprtant t success n the jb. If yu can make yurself the persn peple g t fr guidance and advice, yu will help t prtect yurself frm the ever present danger f dwnsizing. After all, if yu are a recgnized expert at the ffice, yu will be regarded as an indispensable member f the team.
Having a high level f cnfidence, after all, des nt mean verlking the places where yu culd imprve. Knwing what yu d well and where yu need help will help yu enjy increased success and cnfidence.
