I feel that any knowledge can be learned no matter who you are. I feel the reason that
a lot of people can not 'learn' certain things, is that they just don't want to, not matter
how hard they try to make themselves learn it. It's just not them. Lack of dedication
seems to be the biggest problem.

For example, I can do Calculus, it's not very tough, as long as I work at it. But the fact
is, I don't want to work on it, because it's long, somewhat hard, etc, so therefore,
I'm not going to learn it very well -- and it may just seem that I can't learn it, but
that's not it at all. I just lack the dedication to figure the crap out.
People are also (it seems to me,) stereotyped to certain things, such as Calculus is
for brainiacks and you should stay away from it at all costs, so most people don't
learn it.

But then you see people out there who are expert zoologists, or something, but also
have an extreme liking of physics, and understand as well as anybody else on this
board who really likes physics. I think it's because these people have some sort
of dedication to the subject, a real desire to learn, no matter what the subject.
