Richard Wurman states, "I'm a success when I do something I can truly understand" in his article The Business of Understanding. It's true. When we do something that we understand completely it is one of the most accomplished feelings we can experience. When we do things that we only partially understand It's kind of like walking on a foggy trail on a moonlit night, we can see the general direction of where we are going and where we need to be, we can get there, but we're going to stumble a little on the way. Truly understanding on the other hand is more like walking to one side of a well lit room to the other, easy. He goes on to say, "-you must go through certain processes and meet certain conditions before understanding can take place." Understanding isn't an instantaneousness thing for most people. They have to figure out some way to lighten the sky and clear the fog in my metaphorical situation to understand something. It helps if you like the topic you are trying to understand, that's one way to clear away fog. Finding a good source of information is especially important or else the trail will just get harder and harder to follow until your completely lost or on a whole new trail altogether.
