If you ask me what is one of the best ways for people to improve their skills? My reply would be: Repetition. Human beings learn important life skills through the art of repetition.
Right from the early childhood to full maturity, people learn to acquire skills by means of repetition. A child learns to hold an object or throw a ball not once or twice; the baby continues the process till he or she masters it. In other words, repetition is the mother of all learnings. There are other ways people learn too but here I will focus on just repetition.
The FIFA world cup 2010 is being played presently and probably you have been watching the match. There are great and best soccer players competing with each other to win the cup for their respective countries. And these best players didn't become a great player overnight just by kicking the football once. These great players mastered their soccer skills by means of repetition. They learned to kick and dribble the ball many times. They repeated the same process of kicking and dribbling the ball accurately and as a result they became best players.
Almost all best sportsmen from any sports acquired their sporting skills by repetition and repetition happened by practising over and over again. So it is quite clear to note that things don't just happen by chance. Miracles happen when something is done regularly.
The same way, singers or musicians improve their musical skills through learning over and over again. The best singer masters the skills over a long period of time. It requires continuous efforts to become the best singer or a musician.
If anybody wants to become something or somebody, he or she has to repeat the process of learning over a long period of time, till he or she qualifies by acquiring those skills. Anybody can acquire any skills provided they invest enough time repeatedly.
People encounter failures in businesses and relationships too. But these failures have positive strength to make a man or a woman expert in business or relationship. Expertise comes when people experience certain things more often. So never ever give up when any setback attacks you. You must know that the events occur only to strengthen you.
