| If you can’t tell me about it, you are not aware/conscious of it. Maybe it doesn't assume telling right away. Maybe you just aware of it.

| That's a slight misinterpretation of the theory. It's not stating that one has to be vocal to be concious.

It will save you lots of time. I used to hack things 6 years ago when I only started to learn php, I coded with C++ and Ass... |
