till the one day, suddenly, we break through the plateau and move to the next level. we wonder what the big fuss was about. there, the hard work paid off.
then, we reach another plateau. only that this plateau is flatter, longer, and much harder to breakthrough than the previous one.
we forget the progress is non-linear and sometimes it takes a lot of practice and effort before we actually perceive incremental improvement. sometimes, we just have to trust that it will happen. that's when you know if it's important enough for you. and whether you have the faith to perservere even there might be no reward at the end of the day, and you are doing it for the sake of doing it.
