If you don't wake up excited and go to bed tired, drop everything and think of what your future will look like if you keep repeating the same day for the rest of your life. Sit with that discomfort until a new direction appears.
@ATouchline44@gyaigyimii Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, great accomplishment, outstanding credentials. However, Kofi Annan is considered more prominent in the international system because of the office he held. The UN Secretary-General is the world's top diplomat. Regardless, both are worthy of approbation.
When it comes to mastering a skill, time is the magic ingredient.
Assuming your practice proceeds at a steady level, over days and weeks certain elements of the skill become hardwired.

I know you're all getting mighty tired of seeing typography on your timeline today!
But here's a pretext.js demo that (hopefully) isn't a crime against justification and indentation.
