practice is necessary.........................

 The archer allows many arrows to go far beyond the target, because he knows that he will learn the importance of bow, posture, string, and target only by repeating his gestures thousands of times and by not being afraid of making mistakes.

     And his true allies will never criticize him, because they know that practice is necessary, that it is the only way in which he can perfect his instinct, his hammer blow.

     And then comes the moment when he no longer has to think about what he is doing.  From then on, the archer becomes his bow, his arrow, and his target.

-Paulo Coehlo,  The Archer
