About This Quote
It takes persistent practice to be skilful in the act. A skilful person is one who does things in a skilled manner. There are several aspects of an activity that are important when it comes to being skilful. First, you need to take time to learn the basics of something before you can be good at it.
Second, you need to practice every day until the skill becomes second nature. Third, it takes repetition for your body to develop muscle memory, so that when you do it again, you will do it exactly the same way each time. Finally, if you want to be really good at something, you’ll have to work at mastering that skill over and over again for years before it becomes second nature.
There are all sorts of skills that require hard work and persistence before they become second nature.
