Practice Makes Perfect
Read this somewhere:
They all say members of a softball team are all fanatic playing the game that they forget the training of swinging a bat is such a repetitive and boring chore.
Does it sound like the learning of reading and writing? Seems like the purpose of doing such things are completely useless if we don't see the meaning behind them all. Why do we have to learn english and chinese, maths and sciences, humanities and projects, and test after test?
Practice makes perfect, the champion on the field of a stadium of softball fans seldom see him practice the thousands or perhaps millions of swings that took him to become a champion player on the field. He should have played many a time before a big audience -- a kind of preparatory training before his very big match. But it would never be effective if he did not always put in his best.
Doesn't class tests and exams sound all the same before we all go through the very big exam that's coming our way?
Should we not try our very best each time?
