- But honey I read the BEST book in the world on lovemaking, I must
- be better then 80% of the guys out there...and it seys that you will
- like it!!...
-
- To be a doctor or a dentist or a lawyer, or a accountant, or a
- programer, or a WHATEVER one first might read, but a supervised period
- of practice ynder an experenced persons oversight is part of all
- those things...sure one could read nolo and do a minor civil action,
- or read the red cross book and dress a wound, or read motors or the
- idiots guide to vw repair and do brakes, but to become a skilled
- person who can sort through various options and pick out the BEST
- one for the case at hand years of the right kind of supervised practice
- are irreplaceable. attys watch associats in court, and assist then
- start in traffic court...docs start sticking other med students with
- nedels and other fun impliments...er instruments...mechanics start
- by doing easy jobs like oil changes and brakes and do em again and
- again, learning how to deal with stuck bolts, how to judge which
- tool will do a nicer job, picking up a wholistic sense so they can
- just feel whats wrong a lot of the time...no book will teach ya that!!!
- you can learn how to change brakes and rebuild a engine by buying
- a book and taking your time...you will not be a mechanic though...
