I often try to get out of my comfort level. I’ll agree to something that seems fun and challenging, then figure out how hard it is.
Right now I’m barely getting settled from jumping out of hard core C++ applications programming to web-based technology and I agreed to play fiddle in the Klezmer ensemble.
Both of those things have a bit in common: they both take a lot of thought and practice, and they both take more time than I have to really master. And they are both really useful things to know. And I’m having lots of fun figuring things out just in time.
