When I read this post last night, I had a strong feeling. Since I was a little girl, I was educated that Practice makes perfect. However, I did realize that the effort you pay is not necessary equals to the result you get. Therefore, I was frustrated. Now, I have to say that this phrase should be revised to Practice makes PROGRESS, not perfect. In this way, I would suffer less.

I have lots on my plate since I am taking a research class. I have to drat and produce a research proposal. Best luck to me!
