It seems like a daily experience that I hear someone say, “Oh, I just could never get _____.”
I want to shout, we are built to learn! We are learning machines! Sure, someone might learn something more efficiently or quickly than you, someone else might have more aptitude than you for a specific type of skill.
But if you want it, you can have it! We are built to learn.
So now, when I hear that sentence, I translate it to “I don’t really want to get _____.” Because if they really did, they would.
We. are. built. to. learn.
