"Practice makes _________."
In English, my teacher asked us to fill in the blank.
While everyone else filled in the blank with the sophisticated word "perfect", I filled in my blank with "pizza".
When you practice, you are building up your skills - just like a pizza. The longer you make a pizza, the more toppings you'll have on that dough. The longer you practice, the more skills and tricks you'll have. When you have finally finished putting the toppings on the pizza, you have detailed the pizza to your likings. You finally bake the pizza; you are putting your skills to the test.
You must make sure you have put enough time and effort into making this pizza, just like you must put enough time and effort into practicing. For example, you can't make a cheese pizza and not put the cheese on.
Reaping the benefits of practicing is like when you eat the pizza. The rewards of your hard work, or the taste of the pizza, tells you how much you practiced.
From there, it becomes trial and error. If you don't like the flavor, or if the pizza is not savory enough, that means you need to keep practicing until you have mastered the pizza making.
Once you have practiced making one pizza, it is time to make a different pizza - once you have mastered what you have been practicing for, it is time to move on.
Master something, pass it along. Allow others to pass along their skills and ideas, and try it out.
The possibilities are endless.
