Everything. What is that?

Practice is not the only key to perfection.

During reunion dinner at my paternal grandmother's place, I noticed that her cooking taste as good as ever. You might argue that she has been cooking everyday. But cooking Chinese New Year dishes everyday?? Bamboo Shoots with Chicken & Sea Cucumber. I enjoyed this dish the most, and the reason that I look forward to go to her place every Chinese New Year Eve.

Experience and good memory counts. This is one new way that I view how things work in this world. Practice is not everything there is to carry out your life. Be it in studies, sports, gaming, eating, cooking, dating. From tonight, I saw that practice is not the key to make it or break it. Experience in the field is more essential to it, to the thing that you are doing. Experience as in experiencing the event and not experience as in accumulated experience over many practices.

Experiencing a certain event and remember it. To do it again, simply replicate. There does not contain any traces of doing it over and over and over again like in practising. To make something work, just did it a first time (found a successful time) and repeat it the second time if required. Add in some modifications if desired. Commit it to your good memory so that whenever you need this specific skill, your superb memory can recall.

Because being right is one way something works, the other is simply wrong. Either something is done right or its done wrong. There is only 2 side to this coin. Repeating the right movement for the activity that you do makes that thing being done correctly. Practice means trial and error. And error means that the action is not correct. You might have to try some a few times to get it right, but after that it is just repeating it.

Actually up to here, I think that practice is not the key to perfection. Trial and repetition is the way to get things done the correct way.

Well, maybe practice does have its worth to make you eventually do things faster, but you do have to get it right before you want to do it faster, don't you? Won't want to waste time practising on some wrong practices do you?

You may not agree instantly with my new view. But read it a few more times, see how i structure my argument. See if I make sense.
