My educated friends(especially those in the humanities) love a certain statement that I think is largely overstated in its purported power. Do not get me wrong. I believe that it works.

There's a scientific(neuroscientific) discovery called brain plasticity. It means that your brain is malleable. It means that your mind and brain is flexible. You can attain skills.
