I (try to) teach my kids smart stuff such as 1. What _not_ to do such as 'try to be a clerk filling in gaji kakitangan gomen dalam spreadsheet. 2. Pareto principle - learn 20% that is worth 80% 3. Do what is important not urgent such as 'go play what u love which is badminton and forget about exams'. I believe those who landed in front of any interviewer is the ultimate insult. I got thru my first humiliating interview in April 1982 and never had any since then. The interview (Robert Teo, CEO of Dataprep M Sdn Bhd that time) said to me, "You are not to be treated special. I give you the lowest pay." Just because my name is 'bumi' sounding. *Grrrrr* still fuming with the insult after all these years. On 3/13/11 4:43 PM, zarul shahrin wrote: Windows need no learning? That's kind of over-statement. Knowledge comes from experience sometimes, just because you 11-years old son could do well in Excel doesn't mean that he is already an expert in Windows.  There is more to windows than just "Excel".   There are infinity number of things that can be done easily on Linux  but not Windows and vice versa. But I take that your field is limited to software like Excel.  Also, computer is suppose to to help make our job easier and faster not the other way around. If Windows is easier to learn and use, then why do things the hard way? Why spend so much time and get into so much trouble learning a hard-to-use tool when you can use the wasted time to tackle new problems using a tool which is easy to learn?

Give me an example function in excel that my 11 yr old son cannot show you.
