Common sense is not so common. -Voltaire


Today we are going to write about this quote from Voltaire. To us this quote means that even though  common sense is used by people in way to figure out what they should do when they are having trouble figuring things out they do not use common sense in other words they do not think before acting, and we can relate to it since we make the wrong choices and do not think about the consequences it brings us.  We must always take into consideration the risk and consequence of our actions before we do certain things. We think the quote also means when you have to make a certain decision you don’t always use our common sense to figure it out. Aside from decision making common sense also comes in hand while figuring out the answer to specific questions with the most obvious answer but we just don’t know it’s that simple. Sometimes we don’t think about our actions and we tend to do something rash without thinking ahead of time, in other words we can be over our heads. We picked this quote because we want to let people know that even though they think they are making the right choices they need to know that even thought they think that at the end after they might not be doing so.

Excel


This  program  is very useful when it comes to organizing and making calculations for something you need .I am a new user to Excel and the times I have used it has helped a lot and it make thing easier like calculating the average amount of something and also by graphing things .When you use Excel you can right away see how it works and there are a few tricks to it like you can input all the information like to record something and Excel can make the calculations faster that s what I like about this Program that it can Analyze any mistake you make and autocorrect it or show you what is wrong in the data . The simple things you can you do in your head like adding subtracting and dividing is much simple now because you get the right answer and formula to do it for you. You can also be creative and do a graph presentation. Some techniques I like is that in Excel you can do multiple things at the same time. Like you can get information on to your  computer and start to set it up how you want it .I  done charts in Excel also you can add and play around with your information like organize them in a different way so you don’t have to change things one by one.
