Practiced Failure

Garth Beyer

Those two words aren’t often used as an expression of a single motion… but they ought to be.

Consider the growth potential of consistent leaping, trying something new, stretching too far…

And before you think of how painful it is, need I remind us both of how painful normal practice is.

Doing something to spec. Again. And again. And again.

I used to practice playing guitar. Practicing the chords again and again. My fingers hurt so bad after it.

I also practiced failing miserably at guitar. I tried shredding again and again. (I listened to a lot of Dragonforce when I was younger). The result? My fingers hurt so bad after it.

Same result. But both kinds of practice made me better than if I only chose one way to practice.
