      Note, the old saw that practice makes perfect is, of course, a sad, sad deception. Practice makes permanent. Only perfect practice can make perfect, and since none of us have within us the ability to practice perfectly, the best we can hope for is good practice making better, and consistent practice making good practice permanent.
