Time and Effort

100 reps just to start becoming familiar with a technique; 1,000 just to begin getting some basic skill, hundreds of thousands and millions of reps. to approach 'mastery' - for each and every technique, method, form, etc...there is no quick path to mastery, just daily practice, over and over and over again...and it can't be empty practice! we must concentrate upon and consecrate ourselves to our practice and art- each time like it is the first time, like a small child exploring the world for the first time...enjoy, keep going!!!
