So far, I honestly don't have any topics to post about. It could be the high fever I'm currently experiencing, which could also affect what I"m writing here as well.
We have covered the flavours of induction, yet my mind draws a blank when I try to come up with any opinions on them. However on the topic of proofs, I think I realized why I'm terrible at them.
I noticed that I never seem to ask the question, "Why?" or "How?". If someone told me that I could make a certain postage out of a strange denomination of two stamps, I would believe them. I wouldn't second guess it. I'd just ask to myself, "why would you go through all the trouble of using those stamps when you can just use one stamp with the full denomination?". Or I'd be really lazy and just use the stamps in combination to form a postage that is higher than what I'm supposed to be paying.
Apparently, I do this with everything, and it's something I need to unlearn. Because of this, I have a hard time forming the logic behind these proofs. Perhaps if I took the time and patience to ask more questions about how things around me function, and if I use this course as a tool to practice my proofs, I can develop a more logical mindset.

But, if I read your post, you do ask "why" (why would I use that postage).
