Some nuggets of wisdom

Source: http://muratbuffalo.blogspot.com/2012/05/my-advice-to-2012-class.html

1. Knowing a thing and knowing its name are not same - Feynman (not exact paraphrase tho'). In other words, you won't learn much by just following how it is done rather by actually doing it. Doing the thing first hand, making mistakes and working through helps you to internalize the material.

2. Expertise is a result of years and years of practice. Not innately knowing something.

3. Achieving mastery on a topic, in a short period of time, is not an end but rather a beginning for years of apprenticeship towards perfection in the craft.
