There was a time when I thought the key to learning about anything was to accumulate as much information as possible, as fast as possible. Somewhere along the line, though, I started to feel like that approach leads to confusion, as much as it does understanding. Information overload, and all that. Nowadays, I think that learning in stages, over time, provides perspective, and structure aids understanding in a way that mass accumulation of facts doesn't. Thank you, Margaret.
