These days, I have been taking time out every weekend to catch some live floorball action at the Tampines Sports Hall, where teams from the floorball league will play each other on all of Saturday and Sunday.
It's exciting to watch, the action is really fast, and you can see amazing skills exhibited by the players throughout the match, glimpses of brilliance amidst the mad rush for the small white ball. Watching such great games, I often wonder how long they take to master these skills to be able to use them fluently in competition.
Except for the really talented, most of us will need to put in hard work to learn just about anything useful. Lots of effort during practice, lots of practice sessions, and also, lots of mistakes need to be made before you can do it well, whatever 'it' is.
Then what's the difference between the good and the not-so-good? The desire to master the skill perhaps - how much do you really want to master 'it'? A few years back, I played canoe polo, and I try my best to achieve the target of being the best in my team. Back then, I really can't understand why some team mates will want to play in competitions even though they don't turn up for training much. To me, there's only 2 options - try hard to be good, or don't do it at all if you don't really want it that much.
So do you want 'it' (whatever 'it' is to you) bad enough to want to put in your best effort?
