Hardest thing to learn

What is the hardest thing you have ever had to learn to do?

Now maybe the answer could be learning to walk, talk etc, but I would imagine most of us have no memories at all of these difficult learnings. So lets stick to adult life.

What is the most difficult thing that you have consciously had to learn?

Well one of them I was reminded of this morning on my way to work.

There was a girl learning to drive in front of me. Luckily driving school cars are clearly labelled and brightly painted so they are easy to recognise (and keep a distance from). This morning, this bright blues car was going excrutiatingly slow.

The girl in the driving seat was indicating miles ahead of her turn and during the turn, she stalled the engine. Oh my word, this must have been her first lesson.

It just so reminded me of the difficulty of learning to drive. I remember I found it so hard. It was the coordination of the mirror, the clutch, and the accelerator and of course looking in front. All of which had to be done at the same time and ensuring it happened together was so hard to learn, well at least for me. Probably down to my uncoordinated motor skills.

I really do believe that driving was one of the most difficult things I have had to learn.

What about you?

I bet the list is so different from person to person. Let me know what yours was.

And watch out for those learners out there.
