Talent, practice and doing the hard stuff

Weird because maths is all about practise. Something my English teacher never understood was that I could see how to practise maths (he couldn’t and hated maths students because of it) but not how to practise writing.

Its a constant effort now that I am a practising Engineer to keep up my skills, learn news ones and not become bogged down in management where all to often once brilliant engineers forget everything they know and become problems for everyone.
