Don’t practice until you get it right, practice until you can’t get it wrong

Whenever I think of the word “Practice”, my mind always reminds me of the famous proverb “Practice makes a man perfect”. It is easy to advise but difficult to follow. It is not possible to perfect something in overnight. Whatever it may be, art, dance, painting, musical instrument, singing, even preparing for your exam doing only a day before will not take you that master level.

Till school days I was told by my teachers that only by practicing we shall perfect something. The best example where I realized the power of practicing was when I got good marks in mathematics which I used to fail in the past. Because of constant failing, I started to hate maths and it has become my worst nightmare. Also, I started to pacify myself that I will not get good marks in maths and so I started taking that failure very easily and casually. And my mom used to scold but I never took it seriously. But one day my friends started making fun of me and my mom too scolded badly that day and I was ashamed of myself. I felt really bad and started to weep. Then the next day my favorite teacher called me and told me this, “Only when you love something you can excel in that. It will be hard in the beginning but by constant practice, you will definitely achieve it. Nothing worth having comes easier. So start practicing. Only by practice, you will get it right. So, don’t give up until you feel that you have mastered it. Now go and practice.” These words were like drinking an energy shake for me. So, I stopped worrying and started to practice. It was difficult at the beginning but I started to take maths seriously and started to work on it with full potential.

With that practice the result was unexpected. I was the class topper and shocked everyone. I was amazed by my talent and hard work. The practice and effort that I put ended up giving me the target that I was aiming thus helped me to prove my worth to myself and everybody.
