I will show, with pseudo-mathematical reasoning, that you can get better at anything. First I will define a skill as anything another does either better , or worse than you Abstract rigorous person (Set A) (Set B) . (Sommerville, Kerry — 2007) Second, I will show that there is a person that belongs to either or , — proving that (as defined above) Set A Set B no matter the task everything is a skill. (Proving that a skill is everything is left as an exercise to the reader.) Lastly, given of a skill — and the fact that everything is a skill, we have our proof that Property 3.1 a skill is something you can get better at (Rao, M.S. — 2010) — everything is something you can get better at. I will also list some caveats to note when applying this proof to the real world. Definition 22. A skill is anything another person does either better (Set A), or worse (Set B)that you. We take as given, thanks to the hard work by We thank them that they never gave up on, or let down the scientific community. Definition 22. Sommerville, Kerry — 2007 . Lemma 3.2. Given Definition 22 — there exists a person, no matter the task, that belongs to either Set A or Set B. The way to prove is to show that we have the ability to turn everything into a competition , and then to further show that, given enough trials, there will always be a winner/loser Proof. Lemma 3.2 (humans) (Statement 1.) (Statement 2). is proved by this paper — is proved by the fact that even in football (although it is rare) there Statement 1. 12 Of The World’s Craziest Competitions That People Actually Sign Up For . Statement 2. is sometimes a winner. Since everything can be turned into a competition and theoretically you could take part in said competition, all the other contestants would either fall into or or both depending on well you do. (any task) Set A Set B, , Corollary 3.2. Given Lemma 3.2 we can deduce that everything is a skill. (We ask the reader to ignore the fact that this is probably not the correct use of corollary ) Property 3.1. A skill is something you can get better at We take as given — with thanks going to who not only worked hard, but never ran around, or deserted the scientific community. Property 3.1 (Rao, M.S. — 2010) , Finally, Theorem 4.2.0. You can get better at everything. Since you can get better at a skill and everything is a skill you can get better at everything. Proof. (Property 3.1), (Corollary 3.2), Q.E.D As mentioned, there are a few caveats to They are as follows. Theorem 4.2.0. Some people have the ability to get better at a skill faster than others. This is called 1. The learning curve. talent. Although I can always get better at basketball, due to , I will always be worse than LeBron James. 2. Skill to the limit of infinity. quantum mechanics
