How Long Does It Take To Get It?

The 'Crew has observed that it takes some of us longer to 'get' the rules of a game than others. We've noticed this in ESL teaching. Some people understand almost immediately off the bat when a follow up activity has been exemplified or explained, whislt the enjoyment of their slower contemporaries isn't in any way jeopardized, the more awake ones can and generally do explain things for the not-so-sharp in their own tongue, and this often has little bearing on enjoyment or the outcome or the 'winner' of the activity, the latter group often coming from behind; remember the hard and the tortoise.

We've noticed that it could be this way with life too. Some of us get it straight away and for others the conundrum can take a while to unravel, but this doesn't make one group winners and the others losers. Not at all.

So it could be a good thing if it's taking you a while to get it.
