Dabao has been learning C++ for a while
Child Learning C++ – ACEVS
It's been over a month
Then on April 21, they said they would conduct a screening
The on-site exam is probably on April 26
Those who do not pass the exam will not need to go to the computer room for further study
Started practicing questions on April 22
Solved five questions
On the computer
Previously, I didn't manage my time well
Usually, there was no supervision for practice
Dabao played the game Identity V a lot
No effort
No reward
On the morning of April 23, the teacher notified that the school would first conduct a screening
Then it would go to the district level
The test was that afternoon
Three questions, full score 300
Dabao scored 100
No chance to continue learning with the teacher
Can only self-study now
While supervising Dabao, I also need to study
I don't know if there will be another opportunity in sixth grade
Later, there is a district mayor's cup that everyone can participate in
Not sure how it works
Feels like the situation changes quickly, just like Trump
But opportunities are only for those who are prepared
Must always be ready and not slack off
The benefit of this situation is that the sense of frustration comes at just the right time
Just like making money in finance for the first time is not the best thing
The first time in finance, earning 30-90% without selling, then losing to -10%, and then rising to 60%—the numbers are just made up
The point is to let you taste the sweetness while respecting the market; such situations are probably rare
The first failure might lead to never investing again, or it might lead to a crash course in knowledge, but most people will give up. Maybe that person read Munger's book and only remembered, "Regarding great dangers, my attitude is to stay as far away as possible. Others think as long as they don't fall in, the closer the better. I find that too risky; I don't want to do that."
Those who earn a lot the first time might invest more and lose even more; maybe when not losing money, they also exit, or they might become professional traders, so this situation is still okay
Not giving up or abandoning seems to have some effect at any time
Keep working hard!
