That is the essence of learning CW in a nutshell.

Back in 1969 when i attended college to become a Merchant Navy RO, CW was a 
function that had to mastered, no CW no job it was that simple.

22 people on the course from all walks of life. all with the dream of 
becoming Radio Officers. No excuses of i cant do it etc, you had to learn.

Anyone can learn CW all it takes are the things listed by the previous 
author, there is no magic about all it is is practice, practice and more 
practice.

Anyway after about 6 months of CW every day Monday to Friday we were all at 
the required speed of 25 WPM sending and receiving.

Some found it easier than others but everyone got their.

I suppose the ,main difference is simple you could pass the other 6 exams 
but fail CW it was a complete fail, retake all the exams in 12 months time. 
But when your future
life depends on it you put the effort in and pass.

So good luck to everyone learning CW, but it really is simple put the effort 
in you will learn, speed comes with practice and more practice.

I think there are three factors necessary to learning CW. All are important
and they are:



1. Desire
2. Patience
3. Persistence



There is no other easy or quick way to achieve your goal.
