You may have heard the saying “practice makes perfect”, but nowhere is it mentioned how much practice is required to achieve perfection. Apparently, there is word that 10,000 hours makes you an expert, but who knows if that’s true (and a being expert doesn’t necessarily mean perfection).

It’s all part of the surprise and it keeps day-to-day life fun and spontaneous.
