Memorize
until you get it right.
The
fledgling bird leaves the nest
walloping
its wings, and try after
try
eventually takes to flight. The
young
student is given an assignment—
Learn
the Gettysburg Address word for
word
until he can accurately recite.
As
the bowler practices his delivery,
as
the pitcher on the mound throws
his
optimum fast ball to achieve a
called
strike. Memorize it, over and
again
until the practice becomes
automatically
seared into the mind.
The
lioness shows her cub how to
hunt.
Get it right. Your life depends
upon
the stealthy hunt, proper timing
of
the run-down and then the pounce.
As
for me potty training worked, and
thus
far in life has served me well.
“Four
score and seven years ago..”
is
as far as I can recollect Lincoln’s
famous
offering. Even he, I believe,
had
it written down in front of him
to
serve his memory on the day he
gave
the Address.
