Well said. However, I guess I'm not perfect, neither am I too dumb too in
Blender. But i think the competition out there in the outside world is *very
fierce *to the extent that I'll have to sharpen my skills very well, and
acquire the necessary resources such as good pc with relatively good
performance to get into the real world.

I love Andrew's tutorials. He's perfect, perhaps because he's been
blendering over 8 years now. I won't spend 8 years to reach his level
though, but i've got a long way to go.

:)

thanks
