Efficiency

Today, again there was basketball practice. We have 3 practices a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. We run drills, then do pushups, situps, and suicides, even running up and down the stairs 3 times! There was also the boys' basketball game against the Kuangfu's boy basketball team. Both of the teams were very skilled. I wish i could be like them, as skilled. Almost all their attempts of shoots got in. They were very impressive. These days, practices feel miserable. I didnt understand the defending strategies. The other team members understand, but only i dont. So, the coach told me to stand aside and just watch, for two practices already! I felt sad but i know that I had to try harder. I need to try harder. The coach said everyone has a given amount of time of learning. Everyone learns the same thing. The difference made is how you practice on your own. It doesnt matter if the coach tells you how to do it ten times, it is more important to do it yourself once. It is what makes you standout, how you could be better than others. He said an example, Kuangfu practices day and night, everday for hours on ends, but our school's team practied 3 times a week. The coach said: "It's all about efficiency." I was very touched by his words. My parents told me, to use my time wisely. Today, another door opened. I realized another important element of life, efficiency. It is what makes you different from everyone else. It goes the same for studying, too, most definitely. So, i am, going to, from today, really use time wisely, focus on the given time, and efficiency, efficiency, and efficiency.
