One of the problems with the explosion
in instructional video is that watchers can confuse watching
with learning.
Consider the milquetoast
who watches Bruce Lee movies and figures that makes him a threat, a
dangerous man, legend in his own mind. Humor invariably follows when
reality sets in.
And people who have a habit of making
something useful out of what they observe find new applications,
which are
sometimes valuable.
Last week I went to the DC outlet of
Google IO
2012 and heard a good quote from a doer,
Larry
Page, “Have a healthy disrespect for the impossible.”
Why not remember that when you are charging out of the locker room and go make something fun
in the next half?

Love the quote, "Have a healthy disrespect for the impossible."
My daughter-in-law taught me an extension to the traditional advice, "learn, then teach it to someone," to include "then change/improve it."
