Congratulations!
I'm always disappointed when people say "some people just can't learn X".
It isn't that they cannot learn X, they just cannot learn it in the same time frame, and they shouldn't be expected to!
- nemo44x 10y agoI mean that's really the problem. For some reason we think things will just make sense once we are taught the lesson and we try an exercise. But that's so often not the case. Accept you'll never be the genius who creates new things - maybe you will but put that aside. Focus on trying hard and committing yourself. It doesn't matter if it's math or cooking food, the more you try it and think of it and accept failure the better you'll be. Accept your limits as a creator but never accept that you can't understand a concept if you spend the time you personally need at it.
- macns 10y agoIt isn't that they cannot learn X, they just cannot learn it in the same time frame This is exactly the argument I use when seeing people criticizing or laugh at others over their profession or education. I also think that the time frame one needs to "learn X" greatly depends on what they already know, i.e everyone is born a genius; training is what makes the difference. [...] and they shouldn't be expected to!. Hats off for this too. Probably the biggest flaw in most of the world's educational systems.
