Thanks a lot for sharing your experience, @aaagent. It is really inspiring to have such an insight into how an athlete rises to the top, and at the same time it is reassuring to know that not being an "instant success" is not a sign that you are doomed to be at the bottom forever. I will follow your example and climb all these necessary steps to become better and better.

In addition, I know it is a cliché, but we really learn much more from our mistakes than our triumphs. Each mistake you make is a lesson that will be indelibly fixed in your mind and will help you to become a better player, I can see than very clearly right now.

Thanks a ton for the resteem! You rock ;-)
