Practice
means to perform, over and over again in the face
of all obstacles, some act of vision, of faith,
of desire. Practice is a means of inviting the
perfection desired.

Practice Makes It Perfect
by Oswaldo Koch
To
give yourself the best possible chance of playing to
your potential, you must prepare for every opportunity.
That means practice. Playing a musical instrument well
takes a lot of practice. It is a method of learning
and of acquiring experience. Practice is the act of
rehearsing a behavior over and over, or engaging in
an activity again and again, for the purpose of improving
or mastering it, as in the phrase "practice makes
perfect". Sports teams practice to prepare for
actual games.
When
performers master one aspect of their work, they free
their minds to think about another aspect. This may
be why many of us have our most creative thoughts while
taking a shower or driving to work. Whatever profession
or skill we are involved, when it comes to practice,
it is not the amount of time you spend at practice that
counts; it's your desire to learn. Practice lets us
execute a task while using less and less active brain
processing. It makes things automatic. By building expert
habits, surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals,
not wasting time on small stuff, and deliberately practicing
your skills, you can develop improve your work to a
level of mastery.
There
is no learning without practice. Successful learning
doesn't require fancy schools, elaborate training sessions,
or expensive technology. It just takes an understanding
of how the brain really works. There seem to be part
of the day when learning is optimum usually later rather
than earlier. This may also be due to the fact the brain
goes through a complex hormonal and chemical cycle throughout
the day, and this cycle may well be influential on the
production of the chemicals which result in the consolidation
of memory traces. Therefore, be aware that your learning
capacity is affected by what you drink, what you eat,
how you rest and relax and your motivation to learn
specific subject.
Visual
learners think in pictures and tend to perform better
on written tests. Auditory learners learn best by listening,
but may be distracted if there is too much noise. Kinesthetic
learners, also known as tactile learners like to learn
by doing. They seem to have the most difficult time
in school because reading and testing in school are
high visual activities that tend to favor the visual
learners. Whether you are a college student studying
for an important test or an aging baby boomer concerned
about your new dancing steps, there are a few things
everyone can do to optimize our mental powers to learn
more effectively.
