Affinity for sciences

Hay guys, first time here!
Tell me, how talented do you feel you are in maths? Do you often fuck up tasks because of the lack of practice?

As for me, when I was a kid, I really hated paying attention in school, and never saw any purpose in practicing shit, so I really sucked at maths and physics. Now I'm studying to be a mechanical engineer at a university, so things have changed quite a bit.

Everything you know and love you have because of math. >>2 just hates math because he sucks at it, and will have a meaningless life.

Practice is necessary for success in math. Not just incredibly important, but absolutely necessary. I could imagine someone with a 200 IQ understanding things on the first run, but not a border-line smart person with IQ 140. I know a few mathematicians, and we are in consensus about hte necessity of practice.
