A Word about Stupid

I hate stupid.

Have you ever been “stupid”?  I imagine you have, just like me.

What does “stupid” mean? 

"Stupid" just means you don't know IT yet.  Stupid mans you haven't practiced enough, studied enough, or done the act enough to break it down and turn "it" into a useful tool or habit.  Stupid means it's not knowledge yet - it's just new. 

“New!”  I understand “new”.  “New” and “Stupid” seem to be a lot alike. 

Every time we learn a new skill we are usually “stupid” at first.  We are clumsy, slow as molasses, inconsistent, and usually have to ask a lot of questions.

And then one fine day “stupid” fades and the new skill and knowledge remain.  What a fine day that is. 

Stupid leads to knowledge.  Who would have thought?
