“Practice makes perfect. After a long time of practicing, our work will become natural, skillful, swift, and steady.” — Bruce Lee

The saying "Practice makes Perfect" is well-known; nobody is born with magical abilities to accomplish everything without difficulty, yet we can observe that some people have attained a high level of versatility and talent. Are they superhuman individuals? Or will God grant them a gift of some kind of miraculous strength? - That's not the case at all; they share many of the same desires as humans, including the need to sleep through the night, hang out with friends, travel, and conduct a host of other activities. However, what sets them apart is their capacity for greater effort, greater tenacity in pursuing their objectives, and increased attention to detail in whatever they accomplish. These are all qualities that we may refer to as "magical powers".

It's okay that we try things, fail at them, then try again and again. This is how life is. That's perfectly natural because learning occurs in this way; it's how we pick up new skills and improve our existing ones. We can't expect the same outcome every time, even if we do something and succeed on our first attempt. That might happen in one or two instances, though. I think there are those people who are just naturally excellent at certain things, such as cooking, writing, motivating others, or public speaking, but if we investigate closely, we would find that these people still struggle with other things; Consequently, we might infer that nobody is flawless. However, there is only one way to truly excel at anything, and that is via PRACTICE. You will become more proficient at the thing you desire to be as you practice more. However, there's another thing to think about: you have to practice till you master anything; you can't think of yourself as perfect after a few tries. I used to ask myself, "Why, even after practicing multiple times, am I still not able to accomplish the things I want to?" After giving it a lot of thinking, I eventually realized that maybe I'm not trying hard enough, rather than just trying. To be more specific, I practice, but it's insufficient. Until I pursue my goals, I still have a lot more practice to do.

“Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.” — Aristotle

And lastly, in order to ensure that one’s efforts are not in vain, one must become more proficient at being clear in their route. Having clarity enhances the worth of one’s endeavors when pursuing achievement.
