"I have not yet acquired the skill..."

I was once in an art class at BYU-Idaho with Brother Samuelson...one of the greatest and wisest people I have ever met.  He taught us that we should never say things like "I can't draw" or "I'm am not a good painter."  Instead we should say something to the effect of, "I have not yet acquired the skill of _____."  The only thing that we are limited by is time.  In this life we only have a certain amount of time and so we have to pick and choose the things that we learn to master.  In the next life, we will not be limited by time, and therefore will be able to acquire all and any talents that we desire.  It brings me great joy to think that someday I will be able to create a masterpiece painting or be an expert gardener.  Haha...maybe I'll even be able to play basketball.
