One belief I hold is that I can become proficient in any skill if I put the hours in. While maybe not 100% true in every case, it certainly helps more to think this way than to not. I first became really convinced of this idea while studying Japanese using Anki. I've been doing that for over two years now, and have reached a comfortable level of comprehension. No plans to stop soon. I've also started learning the violin recently. It's nice to be able to look at my other skills and realize that if I just put in the hours, I can become as good in this, even though I'm terrible right now.
