Hell, you can’t drive, honey.
Advice taken.
But don’t misunderstand. I’ve been teaching coming up on three years now. I think I have a fine feel for tap dancing for students. I can fake sincerity so well it’s a joke.
But that’s not what I’m talking about. I speak of some people’s simple lack of affinity for a particular subject.
I remember when I was younger I was an avid skateboarder for about four years. At the end of that four years. I couldn’t Ollie. A simple trick about 90% of the skateboarding population picked up in a week. Four years… It just wasn’t going to happen for me.
Some just don’t fit well in certain field. It’s a rare case, but it happens.
You cannot make up for a lack of talent by increasing your efforts.

Just five years ago, one had to be more than just computer literate and exceedingly patient to pirate movies. Hell, finding a single mp3 could have equated to hours upon hours of hunting. Once an FTP site was found — IF one was found, you’d have to contend with upload/download ratio’s. Poor quality. Worse download speeds. I remember quite vividly waiting 3 days to download an album once. But man… When you pulled it off; when you opened the file that wouldn’t be publicly available for another week and it started playing… *shudder*
Ah, the times they change.
Windows Vis– Er… 7.
We all hated Windows ME. But the cold truth is, without it, you wouldn’t have your precious XP that you all cling to like a sinking ship. Many of you hated Vista. But without the technologies and revenue generated from said OS, you would never have Windows 7.
I’ve made a wallpaper to illustrate the point.
