"تستمر في المحاولة حتى تحقق الأمر بشكل صحيح ثم تنتقل إلى الشيء التالي"

Imagine you’re learning how to ride a bike. At first, you wobble and fall off more times than you can count. But you get back up, brush off the dirt, and try again. That’s the essence of this quote. It’s about persistence and not moving on until you’ve nailed what you’re working on.

Back in 1985, a coach told this to his team during a grueling practice session. They were exhausted, ready to call it a day. But the coach insisted they keep at it until their play was flawless. He wasn’t being harsh for the sake of it; he knew that once they mastered this, they’d be ready for the next challenge. Persistence brings perfection, and perfection prepares you for the next big thing.

Think about Thomas Edison. He didn’t invent the lightbulb on his first try. In fact, he failed over a thousand times before he got it right. But he didn’t see those attempts as failures. Each one was a step closer to success. By sticking with it, he illuminated the world.

Now, let’s apply this wisdom. Say you’re learning a new language. At first, you’re going to mess up. Your pronunciation will be off, and you’ll mix up words. But don’t quit. Keep practicing until you can hold a conversation. Once you’re comfortable, move on to writing or more complex aspects of the language.

Here’s a story for you. Picture Jenny, a young artist. She always dreamed of painting a masterpiece. Her early attempts were, let’s say, less than great. But she didn’t abandon her dream. Every day, she painted a little more, improving her technique bit by bit. After months of dedication, she created a piece that stunned her friends and family. With that confidence, she moved on to experimenting with new styles. Her persistence paid off, and she kept growing as an artist.

So, what’s the takeaway here? When you’re tackling something new, don’t rush. Take the time to really master it. Be patient with yourself. If you hit a wall, take a break, but come back to it. It’s tempting to move on when things get tough, but remember that true learning and growth come from sticking with it until you get it right.

When you’re feeling discouraged, think of Edison, or Jenny. Their success didn’t come overnight. They kept going, and so can you. It’s all about perseverance. And once you’ve mastered that bike, that language, that painting technique—whatever it is—you’ll be ready for the next adventure.

So, grab that bike, those language books, or that paintbrush. Keep going until you get it right. And then, and only then, move on to the next thing. You’ve got this.
