Original Text
Practice Doesn't Necessarily Make Perfect!
Does "practice make perfect?" Not quite! Practice makes permanent, but only perfect practice makes perfect. Keep that in mind when you're honing your skills. Don't fall into the trap of mindless repetition, as that might just reinforce bad habits. Make sure you're always fully engaged and mindful in your practice, aiming for improvement each time. And hey, this rule applies to copying texts from this book as well! Focus on your actions and work toward excellence. That way, you'll not only improve but also build a strong foundation for future success. Always remember, the quality of your practice is just as important, if not more, than the quantity.
Translation
熟练不一定能生巧
“熟就一定能生巧吗？”不见得！其实练习会养成永久的惯性，然而只有完美的练习才能真正让成果达到完美。记得，当你在练习技能时，不要掉进无脑重复的陷阱裡，因为这可能只是在加深你不好的习惯。确保你在练习时总是全神贯注、专心致志，并以每次练习都要进步为目标。对了，这个规则也适用在你抄写这本书的时候！专注于你的执行，努力追求卓越。这样一来，你不但会进步，还能为未来的成功打好坚实的基础。永远要记住，练习的品质与次数一样重要，甚至还要重要。
