Missing the SAT question on Tilt Mounts and Cat5E Products Help Me to Buckle Down on Studies

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

When my SAT question of the day asked what tilt mounts were, I missed it. I then knew I needed to find out what the correct answer was. Tilt mounts are used to mount a flat screen and then you can tilt it instead of having it in a fixed position all the time. I will never miss anything like that again. The following day I had to explain what Cat5E products were in my computer class and I missed that. I was getting frustrated to find out that for someone who wanted to go to college and major in computer technical classes, I did not know squat. I decided to really crack down on the books and get serious about studying. By the end of that week, I knew what Cat5E products were and how to install most of them. When we had a pop quiz the following week, I answered only one question wrong and stayed after class to have it explained to me. I went and took the SAT’s about two months later and scored really high. I got in to my first choice of schools and am a very successful computer IT analyst now. If I had not missed the tilt mounts question, I may have not buckled down and gotten serious about college.

Technique is the real starter. Punching speed amount won’t help until the technique is correct. Technique is the base of boxing as many famous boxers of the world say.

Firstly be sure about the proper height of the speed bag whose bottom is supposed to be at your chin. It can be adjusted easily as they are not very heavy.

Your feet shoulder width should be apart, long distance from the bag not required, hands shouldn’t be extended. You can go for elbows which should be bent-90 degree almost and fist should be just below the jaw.

Aim should be to hit the bag’s fattest part, the way to which is a circular motion not a straight punch. So give it a circular punch in downward motion and get your fist back in same pattern. Students find it tough, so practice is required.

Don’t be disheartened, practice is the thing, which is required not the speed. You should buy the bags after much research. There are cheap quality bags that are on the stores.
