I remember when I started learning Jaws and computers back in 1999. I hated
this black box because I couldn't master it fast enough for my liking.
Then, as time went along, I learned a new way of thinking and to be more
patient. Each day, I learned something new. I may not have always
remembered everything as I learned it, but eventually I did.
Now, 5 and a half years later, I'm still learning new things about computers
and Jaws. I realized that I shouldn't focus on the top of the mountain, but
each step that gets me there.
I am aware that I know more than some, and I know less than others. But I'm
willing to take the time to teach what I know, and to learn what I do not.
Jack
