Having said that, they can also be a lot of false starters. I am one of them myself. I think too much. Mother said, "Stop thinking about it and just do it!" I was in a hell of a shape until the Army sent me through Clerks school. I still cannot, for the life of me, remember where the keys are on the keyboards and I can still type about 80 words a minute. They never taught me anything as I still type using three fingers on each hand any my thumb for the space bar. Since I was faster and more accurate than anybody in class in the Army, they let me do my thing. I ended up working for Commanding Generals in the US Army. For the 1st Cavalry Division. If not one of them it would be the Chief of Staff. <br /><br />Why?<br /><br />Well I could drag an old desk top underwood typewriter (before portables and before electric) and type as fast as the general could dictate.<br /><br />I have file cabinets full of unpublished stuff. I got so disgusted once that I published some on my own that became best sellers among college bookstores.
