Practice makes Perfect!

When it comes to doing anything well, it takes practice: not just any practice, but perfect practice. Vince Lombardi, the famous coach of one of the most successful American football teams in history, made a remarkable statement that stunned reporters when he was asked about his game tactics. He said it would not matter if the opposing team had a copy of their play book ( a book of their set moves) before the game, because of his team had rehearsed well and executed perfectly they were unstoppable, no matter what the other team did to defend them. This is a great lesson in life, and this is where the real riches lie – in practice and execution. When it comes to developing winning habits, perfect practice is essential. That means it is more important to get a winning habit absolutely right once, than to do it half-right a hundred times. If you do it half-right, you’re practicing getting it half-wrong, too.
