In some skills like swimming, doing is learning.
2.
In many arts and
skills, you must learn the theory, then do.
3.
In yet many others,
you must learn the theory, do the practicals and then practice for some time.
4.
In some, you must
practice all the time.
5.
Practice for
improvement and excellent.There are no limits to improvement and excellence.

a practice of yoga.
12.
How do I get to
Carnegie Hall? Practice. Practice. Practice.

Is there a
competition to you in Yoga. Yes. There is. Look at the Mirror. Talk to the
person there. He is your competition. Excel over him every day.
14.
You don’t start
your practice at someone else’s place, or, at his level of skills. You do it at
your place, at your level of skills
15.
Sometimes you are
alone. Practice yoga then. Sometimes you are lonely. Practice Yoga then. Sometimes
you are in the midst of people. Practice yoga then. Sometimes, you want to
sleep. Practice yoga then…it is called yoganidra.
16.
Whatever you do ,
be with it totally and be joyful doing it. Do it with all awareness. That
becomes yoga.
17.
Of course, if you
don’t practice, people around start wondering. First person to wonder must be
yourself. And get back to practice.

improve. Look to become better. Correct your mistakes daily. Adopt better
practices.

counts. Motivation and mindset count much more. After all, it is your mind
which is trying to become better in Yoga.

If you don’t practice, as in all other arts, you
fall back.
22.
Don’t ever get
demotivated by naysayers, people who may
laugh at you or ridicule you. They are losers. You are the winner. As long as
you practice.
23.
Surround yourself
with yoga enthusiasts. Talk about yoga, listen about yoga, think about yoga.
You will love yoga. It is always enriching life. If it is not making you more
and more joyful, there is something wrong with your practice or surroundings.
Not with yoga.

To become perfect,
practice must be perfect. Practice must always aim at improvement, not just to
make what we already know perfect.

please.

No moods are
required for yoga practice. Any mood will do.

In higher Yoga
practices also theory is essential. Things do happen spontaneously. But, you
need to avoid certain mistakes. For that, theory is essential. Where the road
blocks exist, where the thorns exist, where to jump up or sideways, these are
taught by theory. If the blocks are removed. Your journey will go smoothly.
38.
Initially closing

initially. But, rituals must not enslave you totally. You must be able to do
yoga without rituals also.

Know that- all of our
critical, creative, scientific knowledge is forever tentative, incomplete and
open to revision in the light of new evidence or cogent new arguments (though,
of course, the most well-established aspects of scientific knowledge are
unlikely to be discarded entirely).

believing. Doing is believing.'

I'm a person who
gets better with practice. Getting older is awesome - because you get more
practice.
63.
I think there ought
to be a strict separation or wall built between our religious faith and our
practice of political authority in office. I don't think the President of the
United States should extol Christianity if he happens to be a Christian at the
expense of Judaism, Islam or other faiths.
64.
One isn't
necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage,

merciful, generous, or honest.

work hard, practice and persevere. Make sure you eat a variety of foods, get
plenty of exercise and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

me to church on Sunday all day long, every Sunday into the night. Then Monday
evening was the missionary meeting. Tuesday evening was usher board meeting.
Wednesday evening was prayer meeting. Thursday evening was visit the sick.
Friday evening was choir practice. I mean, and at all those gatherings, we
sang. - Maya Angelou
67.
Listening is such a
simple act. It requires us to be present, and that takes practice, but we don't
have to do anything else. We don't have to advise, or coach, or sound wise. We
just have to be willing to sit there and listen.-Margaret J. Wheatley
68.
To be a good father
and mother requires that the parents defer many of their own needs and desires
in favor of the needs of their children. As a consequence of this sacrifice,
conscientious parents develop a nobility of character and learn to put into
practice the selfless truths taught by the Savior Himself.-James E. Faust
69.
To practice five
things under all circumstances constitutes perfect virtue; these five are
gravity, generosity of soul, sincerity, earnestness, and kindness.-Confucius

Reading and
writing, like everything else, improve with practice. And, of course, if there
are no young readers and writers, there will shortly be no older ones. Literacy
will be dead, and democracy - which many believe goes hand in hand with it -
will be dead as well.- Margaret Atwood
71.
Practice meditation
regularly. Meditation leads to eternal bliss. Therefore meditate, meditate.-Swami

practice?-Billie Joe Armstrong

We need to revise
our economic thinking to give full value to our natural resources. This revised
economics will stabilize both the theory and the practice of free-market
capitalism. It will provide business and public policy with a powerful new tool
for economic development, profitability, and the promotion of the public good.-Paul
Hawken
74.
Democracy is
beautiful in theory; in practice it is a fallacy.-Benito Mussolini
75.
The principle of
plural marriage was revealed to the Mormons amid much secrecy. Dark clouds
hovered over the church in the early 1840s, after rumors spread that its
founder, Joseph Smith, had taken up the practice of polygamy. While denying the
charge in public, by 1843 Smith had shared a revelation with his closest
disciples.-Scott Anderson
76.
Prize-Fighting is
not the aim of boxing. This noble exercise ought not to be judged by the
dishonesty or the low lives of too many of its professional followers. Let it
stand alone, an athletic practice, on the same footing as boating or football.-John
Boyle O'Reilly
77.
Marx did many
things. But inventing class was not one of them.-Alastair Campbell
