Man, I'm glad I got to know you on Steemit and also that you are part of SteemRomania! Very good insight and nice flow of words and ideas. Training the brain is clearly not a job for the school teachers to show you how to do it. It is part talent and part ambition, in order to be able to dissect the unknown information you get into small pieces that you can research for yourself. It is sometimes a blessing but it can also be a little bit of hell. Being a self-taught person is not easy: on one side you have to socialise, get out and do things with people. On the other, there is this burning urge to stay inside, for days, if not months, and research the topic that doesn't let you sleep. I know I've been there and still am...on different topics, not only one in particular. Is the curiosity that keeps me awake :))
