weak..
do you ever feel like there are some things you just werent meant to understand? like no matter how hard you tried to read up on it, talk to someone knowledgeable on the subject, or even just contemplate for a good ten matters on the matter....you just dont get it?
and thats not to say youre dumb; just that there are certain things out there that werent meant for your brain. and sometimes its not so much the actual subject matter as its the depth of the subject--like you can understand the chapter on relativity as long as you dont read past the first paragraph..
there are a lot of things out there i feel i just dont--or cant--get. the stock market, linear algebra (picture a matrix as a vector? are you crazy?), multi-threadin (confuses the heck out of me), fantasy football (this is damn frustratin)..
and the weird thing is i cant say these realizations undermine my confidence in myself. more like, ive come to see that i have my limitations--which isnt the same thing as my weaknesses (hopefully). i just need to spend more time dealin w/ em, if i choose to deal w/ em..
or maybe they are my weaknesses--and wut i need to do is to definitively work on em. like wut phil jackson says of mj in that imax film, talkin about his shootin and defense when jordan first entered the league: "he [mj] said 'these are my weaknesses. how can i make them my strengths?'"
exactly..
