The Thinking Behind The Tweet
We cannot practice when we don't know the what and how of task-details: we cannot teach when we don't know the what and how of task-details.
But, do not expect your teachers will be masters of work performance: knowing the what/how of tasks and doing work at the master level are 2 different things.
Mastery of tasks is rare; even the most skilled performers make errors; errors define near-term limits, however, near-term limits do not have to be long-term limiting.
Errors only become long-term limiting when we choose to give them that power.

Brain experts are telling us: The uptrend in multi-tasking, especially multi-tasking involving high-tech communication devices, is changing neural patterns strengthening some paths and weakening others. The neural paths that allow us to talk on the cell phone while surfing the web or creating s spreadsheet are strengthening while the neural paths that allow us to focus and concentrate are taking a back seat.
As this trend continues huge numbers of human beings will be able to do huge amounts of mediocre stuff.
We have a choice: we can choose to multi-task our way to mediocrity or we can focus & concentrate for work-performance excellence.
Put another way: we can choose to multi-task or we can choose to task-multi. [And major success only happens when w choose the latter.]

A sense of humour is a facet of a pleasing personality and it is a gift possessed by the greatest of leaders. Of course, your humour has to be 'fitting', not destructive, and in good taste.
