Newbie Msg - Today's thought for new people...
The thread indicated that not everyone is able to learn from a notary rule book. Perhaps that's true, but if so, another kind of work might be better for you.
I am tough on people and wanting them to learn independently because I know how important that is to a person's self-confidence and well-being.
I have a learning disability and ADA type letter from my doc for when I am taking college classes to prove it - I have earned the right not to disagree with someone who is adamant we must be warm and fuzzy about these things. Warm fuzzies don't fix the problem.
I don't buy into coddling people so they come to be dependent on others. If you cannot learn this rule stuff, pick out another career, maybe...don't do something that is nearly impossible to do so that you have to ask for the help of others indefinitely.
Sometimes people think it's unkind for me to redirect people to their notary rules...however, it's my position that the more you can do by yourself, the more solid your future is.
The people you need to watch out for are the ones who want to always be incontrol of knowledge you need IMHO.
If I had not put time over the years into fixing my own computers and learning how, I would be stuck at the mercy of a computer techie half my age telling me I needed a new hard drive this morning. Even if I do need a new one, I can fix that myself and save about $300 on a lap top repair bill. I won't be a victim of society's over-indulgence or a computer geek with a stack of invoices to issue.
