Interesting point I read. Which curve would you rather be on, the steep, or the shallow?  Neither takes effort into account, but in terms of time, I'll take steep. |

If anybody ever claims to have an easy life, evaluate it thusly: * you've done nothing * you're just saying something for whatever reason and it's not true. |

I like steep learning curves. I like to immerse myself in the subject and get on with it. Plus, I will know more than the shallow path people. |

Graph is nonsensical. "Learning curve" is not about about the amount of knowledge per se, but reaching a certain threshold for either understanding or mastery that makes one deemed "proficient" in a certain subject area. With the correct understanding of "learning curve" and all else being equal, I prefer "shallow learning curve" because that means I become "proficient" at something much quicker and/or with less effort. Alas, not all else is equal. Certain subjects and certain skills are simply now worth the time and/or effort safe for pure interest, while proficiency for certain other subjects and certain other skills are crucial for survival or aspiration. Thus my attitude is this: do whatever you need/want to do, learn whatever you need/want to learn, "learning curve" be damned. |

Ayup, that's me, too. It's a little difficult for some folks to understand such an approach, and it's difficult for me to understand why they can't understand.

And it's not linear. I like to surround the knowledge. Start at the beginning, go right to the end, then work on the middle. I eat a slice of pizza by eating the 3 corners first then working in from there. |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |
