Never stop practicing. Practice is like it were your first time. Retain your child-like "beginner\'s mind".

\\nHave the mentality that there are MORE opportunities you have yet discovered. Don\'t let yourself become trapped by concepts, and certainly don\'t self-censor yourself (Political Correctness is bad).
\\nThe aim isn\'t perfection
\\nWhen I write, it is pleasurable! When I lift weights, it is insanely fun! Photography and art-creation is endlessly fascinating to me.
\\nWhen we follow the ethos \'practice makes perfect\', we end up getting suckered somewhere. Why? We aim for perfection; we don\'t do the practice for the sake of it.
\\n\'Practice is pleasure\' is better as a notion. It keeps us motivated to practice, because the practice in itself is fun!
