How big is your brain?

Our mind is capable of being absolutely anything. The human mind is the most plastic thing in the universe that I've ever heard of. And the mind can see anything, but you just have to let it. And it takes honesty, and most people are dishonest about themselves. We all are. We all say things like, "Oh, I've got a mental block about that." Or it's very common to hear people say, "Yeah, Shakespeare was ruined for me at school, because, yeah," and I always say to them, "Yeah, god, the Lake District was ruined for me. We did it in geography, so I just found it really ugly, because we did it in geography." I mean, that's how fatuous it is to say that Shakespeare was ruined for you at school. I mean, come on. Shakespeare is like a landscape. It's there. It can't be ruined for you. That's jus mentally lazy. It's mentally lazy, and we think we can't actually be mentally lazy ourselves, so we blame someone else. We all do it. I'm not particularly picking on people who say that, because a lot of people watching will say, "Well, I always say that," you know. Well, yeah, and I always say lots of lazy things too, about having a maths block or this, that, or the other. The thing you have to be honest about is, is actually whether, whether you care enough about things to want to learn.
