What I learned over the years is that we all stumble into problems and difficulties at some point, and we all manage to overcome these challenges by asking others how they solved their own.

...a knack for understanding concepts and explaining them in easier to understand terms. I also look into learning as a whole concept, which involves not only learning, but also things that affect our learning, such as our personalities, motivations, and our idea of what learning itself is (that's why I take psychology classes to better understand people); so don't be surprised if we dive, not only into the books, but into your own minds as...
