I totally just did a tripod headstand with no spotter and no wall. This physical fitness thing is really awesome.

Go you!

I was thirty years old before I learned how to learn things. Nobody has ever taught me. Either I could do things or I couldn't, and there was never anybody who explained to me that no, you have to study. You have to fail. And keep failing better (and trying different things and researching and stuff) until you're not failing any more.

THIS. Knitting was the thing that taught me this.

It's amazing how well it works, too. It's just slow.

Why don't they teach this in schools?

[triskelmoon]

My kid (15 now, eee) is one of those "smart enough to get it right, blow it off if not" and I literally had to teach him how to study/learn. They certainly did not teach it in his schools.

One main thing from a parenting perspective was to praise effort, even when failing, over results. HUGE difference.

[matociquala]

And recognize work over talent, yeah.

wow. You inspire me, Bear, as a fellow fat girl who loves yoga...
