How to practice

English

05. Showing up

Success is all about showing up consistently. Look at legends like Michael Jordan and Wayne Gretzky—they got there by relentless practice, not magic. Ichikawa, a famous Japanese baseball player, practiced every day, rain or shine. Forget talent; it’s about putting in the reps. Malcolm Gladwell’s “Outliers” talks about the 10,000-hour rule: mastery comes from thousands of hours of practice. Whether it’s learning English or ice-skating, just show up, put in the work, and you’ll succeed.
