OK-OK-OK. Let me just say, to apply oneself to the acquisition of new skills is "practice." The application of a skill once it has been acquired is also a form of practice.
There is a saying which goes: "practice makes perfect." Not application makes perfect. Why is practice the maxim? I dunno.
Also, I don't have the materials yet. They are in the post. I await them eagerly.
Patience is not a virtue.
If it was a virtue that this forum believed in, everyone here is a hypocrite. Why would a patient person be concerned with PR? I suggest you face the mirror ask yourselves if you really are as patient as you thought. Photo reading is in itself an act of impatience, you rushed or are pressed for time, there is no time, you must take in information at a faster pace, maxime input, maximize output, you do not want read a book at a leisurely pace, at 200 words an minute, you want to devour it as quickly as you can, one might even say "impatiently," and move onto the next volume.
I have not put one limitation on myself. I have only asked questions.
So far I have been told:
If I have patience,
I will succeed.
If I learn on material other than the work that I have a vested interest in,
I will succeed.
If I follow the instructions,
I will succeed.
It is up to the individual,
I will succeed.
So it is decided, I will succeed.
