Undoubtedly you are making progress, Typo. Confucius said, "Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves," and, "It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop."

Jean Piaget, a Swiss child development researcher, stated:

Probably as a result of his training in biology, Piaget believed that intellectual development was the result of both genetic and environmental factors. Thus, a child must be 'maturationally ready' before he/she can learn new things, the same principals governed cognitive and biological growth.

To me, there is little reason to believe adults too learn when they are ready to. I believe you are ready to, Typo. Good luck.
