What is the best building block for vocabulary, spelling, and structuring sentences?

An enriched vocabulary allows you to articulate and convey your thoughts in countless ways. Spelling is essential to the written word and the spoken word and mastering the rules and exceptions will help you pronounce and write the appropriate words. English Writing is necessary for any subject that is being studied. Structuring sentences becomes easier with practice.

What is a common flaw when it comes to business?

One of the biggest errors, or failures that most people overlook about business is that they assume it's easy and doesn't require much. That is completely false. Becoming a business owner, managing a business, or even exploring a business venture, to name a few, takes extreme commitment, dedication, careful planning, and strategic execution. And of course, it also helps to build a long-lasting network of various connections.

How can you possibly remember each equation and formula presented in Algebra?

I find that creating a story can be a fun way to retain more complex formulas or equations. Similar to PEMDAS (Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally), the quadratic formula is one of the commonly used algebraic methods, or stories, that can be repeated as: a negative boy (-b) couldn't decide (+/-) whether to go to a radical (square root) party. He was so squared (b squared) that he missed out (subtract) on four awesome chicks (4ac). The party was over (divide by) two in the morning (2a).
