When learning something new, we don't always pick up on it immediately. Often, we repeat the action over and over again until we can fully grasp it. For me, it's no different. Much of what I have learned is through practice. In fact, for many subjects, practice is necessary.
For example, when I learn a new concept, I try to use what I have learned over and over again until I no longer need to think about doing it. When I practice piano, I repeat the notes until the music no longer sounds awkward and unsure. By repeating my actions, I commit them to memory, causing them to last for a long period of time.
Of course, practice does not always make perfect. One of the worst things we can do is use a faulty practicing method. By practicing an action incorrectly, we can form lasting bad habits that are hard to break. To this day, I still am unable to swing a bat correctly because I practiced the swinging the wrong way. Practice can be both beneficial and damaging, but it's hard to deny its importance in learning. What do you think? Have you ever practiced something in a way that caused problems later on?
