I didn't understand object oriented programming until I understood the limits of my brain.

I only started understanding it when I realised that it wasn't that important.

I think many young programmers are mystified by OOP because they feel as if it's a magic bullet that's supposed to solve all of their problems. When you start out trying to understand OOP you can't figure out how it's going to solve those problems...

IMHO OOP has its place, I use it daily, but it's hardly ever my first approach when trying to solve a problem.
