Aim for perfect is a call for frustration and disappointment. The truth is, practice does not make perfect. Rather, practice makes for improvement. Allow yourself to fail. But learn from your failures and move ahead anyway. Nobody succeeds without some hiccups. Keep at it.

Lessons in Persistence and Patience based on the story of the Chinese Bamboo Tree.

Ours pass through the same process most times. But never give up trying.
