WHAT IS YOUR PRACTICE?

As children most of struggled with the multiplication table (Tables 2 to 12). Personally, I only got to master it when I was 13 years old. How did that happen? 
I was privileged to have an academic mentor who oversaw my learning. I didn't study anything new, he only made me DO THEM REPEATEDLY FOR LENGTHY HOURS (minimum 4 hours study after school and 8 hours study during weekends). Initially, I grumbled and complained but I always completed ALL THE WORK (academic) given to me. 

One day, he said to me "KNOWLEDGE IS IN THREE LEVELS"


1. Acquisition of Knowledge 

2. Understanding of the Knowledge acquired 

3. Mastery of Knowledge (applied knowledge)


He told me most people who claim they know, are most times on level 1. Very few, manage to get up to level 2. He continued by saying there is only one principle to change from one level to the next.


PRACTICE! PRACTICE!! PRACTICE!!!
The truth is, I left secondary school as a Mathematics Authority (at that level), no need to say how my school in my time worn trophies in Maths Quizzes. I Finished and immediately started making earnings as a Private Maths Tutor at age 17.


You can have a skill, a gifting or a calling...but until you commit to lengthy hours of Practice, it will not speak. 


Check all sports men who make headlines, find out about their WORK ETHIC. I will tell you what you will see...UNTIRING DEDICATION TO PRACTICE...PRACTICE...PRACTICE! 


Do you want to be the best in your field?

Do you want to be a global authority in your discipline?


PRACTICE is the master key! 
There is NOTHING impossible to learn. It's a question of, how much we want to commit to the Practice of it. 

Hear Paul's advice to a young Preacher...


...till (continuously devote) I come, give attendance to reading...neglect (fail not to practice) not the gift that is in thee...meditate upon these things...GIVE THYSELF WHOLLY TO THEM...that thy profiting (success) may appear unto ALL (global success). 1 Tim. 4:13-15


How much time do you really devote to your skill? The above text suggests: GIVE YOURSELF WHOLLY...


It's time for the world to come to your business address. It is time your voice gets heard. The choice and the decision is yours.


What's your Practice and how have you been Practicing?


Till when next you visit this blog, KEEP PRACTICING!
