"Most of us think that the line of the path to mastering anything sort of moves this way -
the more we practise, as time goes by, we get better."
"In reality, this is not how it works."
"In fact, the path of mastery looks like this.
You practise for a while, weeks or months, but you don't really see much of an improvement. And all of a sudden, you make a jump, and then you hit another plateau. And once again, you practise for weeks and months, and you don't see much of an improvement. But you persist anyway, and then you hit another plateau. And you continue persisting and you hit another plateau.
The problem with most of us is - we start practising, we don't feel any change coming on; the change is just around the corner, if we just would keep it up, we are going to reach another whole new level of mastery, but we give up too soon."
