COOPER’S SUMMARY:
• Experience works like rods–connecting the dots that are the bits of knowledge we gain. Don’t you love it, too?

It got me to thinking and using my creativity, thus defined as “connecting dots”.
It’s like my brain had a baby. Here’s what I created to go a step further than Hugh and Belle Beth:

Skills are knobby tires for the wheel. Traction, baby!
