To what extent can it be said that: “Practice makes perfect”?

It seems that success in life requires from us not a the luck but also other vital
means, and practices all the time is one of the necessary factors to succeed. To some
people, it is annoyed to do one task repeatedly. However, from my practical point of
view, spending a wide range of time and efforts on one job builds the perfect and the
desired effect in our work for some reasons.
Scientists first began examining the ways practice affects performance more than
a century ago. A later study of women working in a cigar factory in the 1950s revealed
that even after years of practice (in this case rolling cigars), people can become faster
at a task. More recently, movement scientists studying college basketball players found
that skilled players are better at making set shots at a foul line than would be predicted
on the basis of performance at other nearby locations on the court. However, a similar
effect was not seen when the players attempted jump shots at the foul line, suggesting
that massive levels of practice can enhance specific actions more than others. With the
advent of brain imaging technology, we now know that the human brain maintains the
ability to modify its structure and function throughout life through a process called
experience- or learning-dependent plasticity. Such changes include the strength of
connections and changes in activity that is engaged with specific actions or conditions.
When comparing the brains of professional and amateur violinists as they performed,
for example, scientists found that professionals exhibited higher activity in the auditory
cortex, the part of the brain that processes sound. These and other findings over the
past two decades have contributed greatly to our understanding of learning and
memory. We now know that in order for practice to induce learning-dependent brain
changes it must be meaningful, motivating, skilful, challenging and rewarding. In my lab,
we are using this knowledge to develop a principle-based approach to foster the
recovery of voluntary movements in people who have sustained a stroke and lost motor
skills such as walking and grasping. Ultimately, we hope to optimize neurorehabilitation
through an accelerated skill-acquisition program.

Perfection is supplemented by constant practice. Training and rehearsal be it on

academics, sports or arts enable one to excel and familiarise him or himself on the field
he or she has chosen. To excel is to be ready to undergo rigid exercises and training to
master the craft and to hone the skill. Practice is probably one of the most effective
ingredients in achieving a goal. It is the channel where one sharpens the mind, the body
and the readiness to defy the odds. Practice makes one rise beyond the people around
him or her. It is what makes him or her stand out. Perfection is not achieved overnight.
One should invest time and effort in perfecting his or her craft. It is in constant and
unwavering repetition of things do people become smart, skilled and talented. Talent
may be innate but skill is acquired through relentless and unwavering practice. If one
aims for perfection, that person should prepare himself mentally and emotionally. Talent
and skill is not just based on the ability to rise above the odds, but the superb ability to
cope with stress and frustration. Because in perfecting a certain skill or talent one has to
be ready with hindrances and ordeals and must at all cost be ready to cope with the
challenges to succeed
All things considered, training hard not only improve our skills but also help us to
be more confident when facing troubles. Instead of wasting of time and money on
computer games or other unnecessary chores, it is better for us to practice some topics
that we usually have problems.
