No Such Thing As a Prodigy

This article, entitled “The Myth of Prodigy and Why It Matters“, is such an inspiration.

This is good news for professionals who are committed to improving their productivity skills. It is never too late to learn and increasingly master the fundamentals of 2Time, or any other hard-to-learn discipline. All it takes is practice.
