The simply answer would be most of the calculus and abstract mathematics that I took in school!. The more clever answer is a personal one!. In school I was like by many if not all other students, cause I was funny!. I learned that I can use humor as a defensive mechanism!. Ex: get out of fights or other tough situations!. In my adult life I learned that this doesnt work and have since grown a back bone and I met confrontations with assertivness and aggresivness if the assertive route doesnt work!. So, complex math and being a joker to escape problem are things I had learn and no longer use in the real world!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
