That whole "Why do I have to learn this? I'm never going to use it!" attitude from school. Learning a new skill is the reward. I love learning new skills. It's my hobby. I'm never going to be an expert in anything, but I get to learn a whole bunch of interesting things.

I have been asked why the things I do are always so hard (implying that probably I just suck). It's true, I do suck at most things I do, because I seldom do the same thing for a very long time.

Still, that only works so long as learning the skill can be made fun and rewarding. I think school failed at this in many cases.
