366 days of wisdom (September 30, 2020)

Day 274 of wisdom

“Practice puts brains in your muscles.”

Samuel Snead

When a man wakes up, and gets up he needs no support, he stands on his feet and go around doing whatever he wants to do with ease, he does not need to think before his legs would walk, he needs nothing special to get on the move, his legs knows what to do as soon as he steps on them. This was not the case a few years into his existence, at a point he struggled to crawl, before struggling to stand on his feet, and eventually getting up to walk, and then run, today he does all these things effortlessly. This is because he has consistently done it overtime, the muscles in his legs need not be told what to do when they are called upon. Whatever a man consistently does, he begins to do with ease, this is the philosophy of practice. The best way to master a skill, or become better in it, is to practice that skill consistently.

Bruce Lee once said, "Practice makes perfect. After a long time of practicing, our work will become natural, skillful, swift, and steady." if you want to be so good in doing a thing that you so much desire to do, practice doing that thing consistently; if you want to be the best in the world in your own field, you must be able to do what is required of you with so much ease that makes doing it feel like play.

In the words of Jim Rohn who said, "Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day." if you would achieve success, you must through discipline, hard work, and determination put yourself to consistent practice of your art, skills, and talent, and become comfortable with process, or else your dreams will only stare at you in the face. Athletes do not wait until tournament day before they practise, in fact they practise everyday of their professional lives to ensure they stay in shape for every opportunity to compete.

One of the greatest pianists of all time Franz Liszt once said, “If I miss practicing one day, I know it; if I miss two days, my friends know it; and if I miss three days, the public knows it.” the only guarantee to continuous improvement is continuous practice. In practicing you must also ensure to practice right, because if you practice wrongly you only become better at doing it wrongly. You must believe in yourself, and your abilities to succeed but beyond believing, you must practice. You are what you consistently do, so, do consistently what you want to become.
