Learn-Understand-Practice!

[BlessedMama]

I'm reading a book about business, and this paragraph really stood out for T-Tapp! (I can't read anything without relating it to T-Tapp these days! )


"How does one become a better negotiator? In much the same three-phase method that one becomes better at carpentry, better at omelet cooking, an better at writing poetry: (1) learn, (2) understand, and (3) practice. Phase one is learning the techniques. Phase two is understanding those principles that lie behind the techniques. Understanding how those techniques work provides assurance that they will work. Gaining confidence in the ultimate effectiveness of those techniques is important because it helps to provide the motivation to keep going with phase three. Phase three is doggedly and determinedly practicing, not only to become proficient in the technique, but also to become a different person.

"When I emphasize the need for practice, I do so in the same spirit as the piano teacher urging her student to practice--it is how the material becomes a part of you. This could be why I sometimes refer to myself as a practicing Jew. The implication is not that with enough practice I might one day get it right, although that may well be true, but that by consistently practicing the religiously mandated behaviors, by doing different things, I will integrate the desired habits into myself, eventually becoming a new person. You should feel comfortable with the idea of constantly practicing the techniques that will be discussed here and making them a regular component of your daily life."

(Thou Shall Prosper, Rabbi Daniel Lapin, pp. 14-15)


I thought this part in the first paragraph bears repeating. It really says it all--it is our motivation to keep on keeping on!

"Gaining confidence in the ultimate effectiveness of those techniques is important because it helps to provide the motivation to keep going with phase three. Phase three is doggedly and determinedly practicing, not only to become proficient in the technique, but also to become a different person."

To me, T-Tapp IS more than a workout--it is a new way of life that changes my life---from the inside out!
