I'm doing 13 things
Nice quote i read
2 years ago
Not many years ago I began to play the ‘cello. Most people would say that what I am doing is ``learning to play’’ the ‘cello. But these words carry into our minds the strange idea that there exist two very different processes: 1) learning to play the ‘cello; and 2) playing the ‘cello. They imply that I will do the first until I have completed it, at which point I will stop the first process and begin the second; in short, that I will go on ``learning to play’’ until I have ``learned to play’’ and that then I will begin to play. Of course, this is nonsense. There are not two processes, but one. We learn to do something by doing it. There is no other way.
