after some years now, i'm pretty sure i don't have some particular innate skill.
the only real secret skill is possibly, just knowing that the true ingredients of any particular skill are time and effort.
yes, we can work smarter, think harder, be more well-connected, leap frog with some shortcuts. i'm becoming more and more convinced that detours are every bit as valuable. if we realize we're wasting time, we probably aren't really wasting time?
