B.A.? I Think I Got a B.S...

It's not often that I give out life lessons and advice, but I decided that since this has carried me pretty far in life, I should pass it on. 

Here's a bit of the back story: My boss sent me an email this morning asking me if I knew how to capture screen shots from iMovie. My first thought is, "Definitely not..." The I remembered a little piece of advice I was once told. 

If you are asked to do something you don't know how to do, but you have time to Google it and learn, ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE AND SAY YES. 

(This does not apply to nursing students, doctors, lawyers representing people in important cases, law enforcement officers, etc. I'm more talking about people like me...)

I took about 2 minutes to Google how to use iMovie to create stills, and then I emailed my boss back and told her heck yes I knew how! After reading the Google tutorial (MacWorld) completely, the project took me less than 5 minutes. My boss's response? 

You rock!  You’ll have to show me how!

Earning tech points for about 5 minutes of Googling feels great. All that you need to do is have faith in your ability to follow directions from a tutorial, and you should be able to do more than you could ever dream of. Don't sell yourself short. 

Just because I got a B.A. degree from college, I really think they should have given me a B.S. instead!
