"Practice does not make perfect because no one is perfect. Practice can bring one close to perfection, but the attempt is Sisyphean by its very nature. Inevitably the boulder will roll down the hill. The test of one's willpower is to continue pushing even when this happens; indeed, every time it happens. Do not get discouraged. Perfection is something to strive after, tirelessly.

If your focus is on achieving true perfection, it will slip through your fingers like sand. Do not regard it as an endpoint. View it as a beacon that forever remains too distant to reach, but the more you follow it the farther you will come."
