Yes, it works. But it's not the only way that works.
Some people like to take things slowly and methodically, others like  
to dive right in.
Sometimes you've got to get a taste for what's possible, for the  
excitement of taking your ideas and turning them into reality.
One of the best things about being young is that you don't know  
what's impossible. That's why some of the most brilliant things are  
made by young people - they didn't know it couldn't be done.

Did you ever have 'a while' when you were Joe's age?

Not trying to offend anyone here, just that (currently) there's over  
ninety comments in this thread; half of them are Joe's, and the other  
half are telling him how it's all too hard.

Well, that's the end of my rant. I'll try to stay away from my  
voicing my opinion and just pitch in to help now.
