first – I want to thank all of you (Brent, Bernie, Dave, Mark, and Jeff) for the kind compliments ...
and to Brent (Ceilingwalker) ... as I've told you before, if you've got any "learning disabilities" then I sure as heck can't tell it ...
as near as I can tell, you fall into exactly the same category as MOST of my students ... these are folks who just seem to "learn-through-their-hands" better than by any other method ...
now there are SOME people who are able to learn by just listening to lectures ...
and there are SOME people who are able to learn by just reading books ...
and there are SOME people who are able to learn by watching videos ...
but then again, there are MANY people out there who (for one reason or another) really need to "DO IT" in order to get a good grip on the course material ...
over 90% of my students have already been sent to "Training Company A" - and to "Training Company B" – and to "Training Company C" – and so on – and they just never seem to "get it" ...
in spite of that, I've invariably had excellent results with these same students ... it turns out that when you give them a totally "hands-on" training approach, they can do amazingly well ...
previous experience has nothing to do with the ability to succeed in my classes - but it does take a lot of MOTIVATION and DETERMINATION - precisely the same qualities necessary to succeed in ANY endeavor ...
Brent has plenty of both of those qualities – and it was a pleasure having him as a student ...
