But Mr Lanwig, if we can accept that total knowledge is impossible, then rather than being unfortunate that "1 thing answered leads to 3 more questions' shouldn't the focus be on 'I have learnt something"? It is frustrating though - I know how to do the buzzsaw-hatchback-neckdrop-ballroom superman, but I can't do it!'Originally posted by Gadget
Last week there were 5 things I knew I couldn't do. This week there are 8.
Unfortunatly my learning experiance is that for every one question answered, it prompts three more: for every move or technique learned, there are variations that lead into different areas - as what I know grows, what I know I don't know grows even more. At some point I'll know nothing about everything!
{In most physical activities there is a plateu that you need to overcome to improve - and most folk get worse from there before getting better; the climb to the next plateu is harder but higher than the last.}
What you say about the plateu is spot-on. I find that, for me, the frustration comes from trying to go too far too soon, or in not accepting that while it is better to aim high, even I have to accept my limits.
