Why is it that I have such a hard time starting to read a new book, but once I’m into the book, I can’t put it down? If I try to start a book, I can’t seem to find enough time to start it. But once I’m halfway through, I steal every free second of my day to keep reading!

Although I have many years of formal education, most of what I've learned has come from experimenting and trying to solve problems on my own. Once an idea for a project is set in my mind, it is all-consuming and one must learn everything possible about the subject on the way to the outcome. For learning is more than reading books and spoken word, it is hours of frustration, trial and error, and one sudden flash of insight when the world magically makes sense. It is during this moment when I am truely alive.
