The problem with mathematics is being taught it scares the heck out of people and confuses them. I hated math because I had some teachers who said "do this, then this...and you get the correct answer." If they had explained why doing something worked, I think I might have been good at math and even enjoyed it if my teachers had focused on reasons instead of memorization.

Rick, if your hands can dance on a guitar, your feet can dance too. You probably just haven't put as much effort into it. Think of the floor as having strings, and your feet are picking them.
