As a kid, I started to get really into computer graphics. But, the textbooks I got as a 15 year old from Borders Books were full of calculus that was literally greek to me. I was also not really enjoying my public school math education. One day I brought the book to my math teacher and he was dismissive and basically said, 'you're not going to understand any of this – it's college and beyond."

Such a giant missed opportunity that makes me more angry now as an adult with my own kids.

In the end, I'm self-taught in so many areas that it means throughout the years I've had to confront gaps and work to fill them in. And there's definitely a healthy amount of 'learn to unlearn' because, sometimes you're lucky enough to find a book or a person who explains things to you in a totally different way that makes it all click.

Anyway – it's never too late; big fan of life-long learning and continual self-improvement.
