Lev Vygotsky
I remember telling my children when they were little and an adult had behaved badly, disappointing or astounding the child that we all had to understand that no body grows up all at once. I tried to help them understand that human maturity looked more like a bar graph. I told them some people could have great big bodies but that in kindness they could be very small. One person could be amazing in math but not as good at public speaking. Another could be a great artist but poor at sharing.
The point is that the video above refers to a concept of proximal learning. We all, no matter what stage of life we are at can learn from others and their accomplishments. Someone may find it easy to do what you find hard to do. Observe. Learn. If they are willing buddy up and trade skills and or get instruction from them.
The purpose of this site is to provide resources that might give us an 'ah ha' moment or a glimpse of a door in the wall that is blocking your advancement.
