Motivational Monday-(WWJBD)What would Joe Bloggs Do?

Some of us need a little nudge to get going on Mondays (ie Me!) So in order to stay focused and motivated I have decided Monday's will be motivational day. Sayings, quotes, thoughts, etc. that will inspire me to keep going on this GMAT journey I've embarked.

Princeton Review first introduced me to Joe Bloggs, the average GMAT tester who scores in the average range.

I took a GMAT diagnostic test and found out I am Joe Bloggs! Above average in verbal but not so much in quant :(

I shouldn't be surprised, I knew quant was going to be my weak spot. What was surprising though was finding out I scored better on data sufficiency than in Problem Solving...(weird, but I'll take it.) So I have decided to go back to basics. Like Mark Zuckerberg says...do the easier stuff first, or in this case the medium level questions...once those come naturally, breaking down the tough ones should not be so hard.

Looking back my mistakes were careless. I didn't think about all possibilities and instead made assumptions about a problem. For instance I came across a problem yesterday about the probability about being picked for secretary or treasurer but before that a president had to be picked. I completely ignored to take into account the odds of not being picked for president and focused only on secretary and treasurer because that is what the problem asked for...see-careless!

That being said I think I can work on it. I just have to get used to thinking about the whole picture. So what would Joe Bloggs do? Probably quit cause its hard, or look for the easiest response which means I have to keep going and leave Joe Bloggs behind.
