Why Practice and How Much?
by Michael Feeley
It takes practice to be good at anything.
Some questions come up when you decide what you want to learn:
What is the purpose and goal of what you are studying and trying to do?
How good do you want to be?
How much effort are you willing to put in?
For example, when learning to type, do you want to be proficient, using all the right fingers while practicing speed and accuracy without looking at the keyboard, or is hunting and pecking with two fingers good enough?
What about languages? Do you want to speak, write, and read fluently as an expert, or are you content with average speaking knowledge and bumbling along?
When looking for a job, will you be particular about your work, the company, people, location, salary, benefits, and growth? Or will you be content checking in from 9-5 pm, following orders, and being part of the industrial labor state of mind?
Your choices create your value, knowledge, experience, credentials, abilities, and quality of skills because they matter to your life, including your career, and that also includes how much you matter to others who hire you.
We return to these four critical questions:
1. What do you want?
2. Why do you want it?
3. What are you willing to do to achieve what you want?
4. How good do you want to be at what you do, average or excellent?
