Oh there's no point doing this lol - you guys have all said it already. But stop learning??????? Hell no - that excuse is used by middle-aged and older people who want to get out of something. Lame! I'm 47 and my best thing is getting into something I've never done before - scaring the hell out of myself and risking my neck. Then I HAVE to learn quick lol! Example: a customer calls and says - 'Can you do printed matter? (I've done other stuff for him previously) You know, design a nice folder for us.' And I don't even own a layout app, but I go, 'Uh yeah, sure!' And he says, 'Okay you got the job.' I go out and buy InDesign the next day and learn it FAST and a week later we're doing that folder.... and in the end the customer is very happy with the stuff when it comes back from the printers. That was scary and fun... lol! Just one example. But I never learn anything just for the learning - there has to be a point to it. I must be motivated, it must be fun or interesting in some way or other. Or absolutely necessary. I only RTFM if I HAVE to. Way back: Started with a BA degree in psychology, then got into Computer R&D, then out of that and started with music production, then multimedia, then video and Poser.... and the wilder it gets, the more I love it. And I still wonder what I'll be when I grow up. Honestly. But since I started working with music ('92) and then also with Poser ('98), the question doesn't enter my mind so often - I'm having too much fun. :] Fish
