"There is NO one-formulae-fits all"

  Hello Friends, Here is a short story for your lesson: A few years ago, I was privileged to teach Microsoft Excel to some clients. In the process of the lessons I introduced the use and functions of formulae and how to formulate them. We then went ahead to run some practice exercises. One of my students had a harder time understanding. So, when I gave that student a unique exercise to do, he asked his colleague for THE formulae to use on his exercise. You can imagine that it did not work as well as he expected. When he asked me why the formulae did not work for him, my answer was "There is NO one-formulae-fits all". .What's the lesson of this boring story, you may ask? . . The lesson is simply that no one has a unilateral protocol/formulae to solving all of life's challenges. It is erroneous for you to use the protocol for solving one problem as given by one individual in a particular clime to attempt solve another in your own environment. What works for Mr. A may no
