Article Directory :: Self-Improvement/Motivation Articles Practice Is The Secret By Fred Nicklaus Republish: EasyPublish™ Published: 02Apr2009 Word count: 443 Viewed: 165 time(s) Get Free Content For Your Site I was watching TV a few weeks back and I saw a commercial that had two young boys playing a video game that had motor bikes racing. All of a sudden the bike rider in the game stops riding and turns to the two kids playing and says something to the effect that he didn't get to be as good as he is by sitting on his butt and playing games. He encouraged the boys to get up and do something. Often times I've watched my son who is 17 years old play video games with his friends. The kids really seem to enjoy the games and I'm sure that they at times think that it would be really amazing to do the things that the characters in these games can do. I personally have nothing against some of these games, unless they are unusually violent and if only played in moderation. At the same time I do believe that many of these games take away from the creativity of our youngsters and stop them from getting off the couch and doing. It has been said that practice is the most important discovery in the history of human achievement. Practice is so important because it involves action. By involving action it requires us to utilize out capacities to the culmination of a goal. Don't you always feel better when you just get yourself in motion? When I was a youngster I remember my mother telling me, "get outside and go do something. You're not going to sit in the house on such a nice day." Even though I may have objected because I wanted to practice my juvenile desire for lack of motion, I now look back and marvel at my mother's simple yet profound wisdom. The simple act of doing involves our minds and our wills. It sets processes in place that allow us to grow. The practice of anything, simple or complex, changes us and allows us to shed the old shell. I believe that the simplest secret for kids to learn in order for them to experience who they can become is to get up and get moving. Any action is better than none and continued practice of that action will only develop skill along with confidence and ever growing belief in one's abilities. One of the simplest but most important lessons for parents to teach is to encourage your kids to get up and get moving. Practice and action. Simple concepts that lead to big achievements.
