Thank you for such kind words, Fabio.

I was very lucky to be, and still am, surrounded by people who
demonstrated this idea to me when I was young. I am very happy to see
others here see how beneficial and helpful (in the long term) learning
this way can be.

I'm grateful to have found and be a part of this community.
