Not highly recommended… I lived by this mantra for most of my life, only to realize that now I find it extremely difficult to assert myself, even when it is imperative that I do so. Sometimes you have to be stern with people, which I have a very hard time doing… and which generally causes people to walk all over me and push me aside.
Perhaps those in this category should reconsider before it’s too late, and switch to perhaps a “be nice to those who deserve it” strategy. It might prove more beneficial.

Those who know binary and those who don’t.
Anyways, for those having trouble, try memorizing the number values of each of the “decimal places” or “binary places” in this case.
For instance, say we had the number:
1101
Remember that, from RIGHT to LEFT, the values for the “places” are 1, 2, 4, and 8. 1, 4, and 8 are set to 1. Therefore, we merely have to add all of the values for places that are set to 1. So:
1101 = 8 + 4 + 1 = 13
Note that since the second place from the right (the 2 “place”) was 0, 2 was not added. Try another one:
0101
The 4 and 1 spot have 1 in them, the others have 0. Therefore:
0101 = 4 + 1 = 5
To memorize higher “places”, simply double the highest place you’ve learned so far. If we moved up to 5 total “places” in our number, the first from the left would be the 16’s “place”, as so:
10101 = 16 + 4 + 1 = 20
You can do it!

Apparently they have a room filled with clones of him in the basement of the White House. I’ve already taken out a couple of them, but they just do a quick media payoff and revive another one. But it still helps a person blow off some steam, so I encourage others to take out a few Bush clones when you’ve had a bad day.
