All is reps. There’s no substitution for reps. 10,000 hours is just a metaphor for reps. Chess is reps. Painting is reps. Thinking, wisdom, even prayer is reps. There’s a reason the French say ‘apprendre par cœur’ (to learn by heart). Repetition itself is the stairway to heaven
If you knew how potent the impact of spoken word was on your reality,
then you would never use self-deprecating humour again.
You’d realise it isn’t funny at all.
