Just like learning the piano!

In my thirties I learned to play the piano. I figured I was of average intelligence and all I had to do was follow the teacher's instructions and practice! That thought just blew my mind at the time and it worked!
This is just the same. I am reasonably intelligent - all I have to do is follow a few simple rules and No S will work! Again - it blows my mind.

Great post. I liked your analogy. Sometimes we think because we hit a certain age, that we can no longer learn new things. We have to relearn how to believe in ourselves.

Yes! Except easier
But you're right that they're both largely about practice -- and a great pleasure once you get past the awkward initial stages.
