Interesting article.

I found this really interesting article on boing boing.  I'm not sure whether or not I agree with it 100% but I definitely think it's got some great ideas.  Its about how to learn new things and become better at the things we love to do.  I do think it's rather difficult to become great at something if you don't love it, as I've said before, so much of what talent "IS" is the degree to which something is able to hold your attention and motivate your actions.  The rest of the idea are hit or miss depending on individual circumstance I think, but maybe you'll disagree with me.
