Teaching
Most learning requires muscle memory, practice and repetition. Clumsy awkwardness
is the required first step in a journey to mastery. As Woody Allen said, "80% of
success is showing up."
Like yoga, learning writing or creative concepting is a constant, repetative practice
that is never perfected.
We can learn in groups, but it's up to the individual to push themselves to achieve.
Our learning curve is life long, and represents an asymptote that approaches a line
of perfection but can never touch it; that is, we get better ever day if we show up,
try, fail, and show up again.
