I prefer the original from which the author has borrowed liberally. This has been floating around for a while, I first read it in a Larry Connors book about 6 yrs ago:
The Four Stages of Learning
First is "Unconscious Incompetence" - A child feels he can drive a car because he has no idea what it actually entails. 2nd stage is "Conscious Incompetence", when you acknowledge you are inept - The first time a teenager actually tries to drive. The third stage is "Conscious Competence", when you are skilled enough to do the job but have to give it 100% of your concentration - The first few months after first learning to drive. (I remember as a teenager, when I smoked, I couldn't drive on the interstate and smoke a cigarette until several weeks after I got my license.) And the final stage is "Unconscious Competence", when you can do the task w/o thinking - After driving all my adult life I now drive to the store and later may not even remember I made the trip.
