“Writing is not something you can do or you can't. It's not even something that 'other people do' or 'for smart people only' or even 'for people who finished school and went to University'. Nonsense. Anyone can do it. But no-one can do it straight off the bat.

“You don't win an Olympic gold medal with a few weeks of intensive training. There's no such thing as an overnight opera sensation. Great law firms or design companies don't spring up overnight...

“Partial repetitions is another technique that I used -- sparingly. I was always a fan of doing full repetitions on every set. However, at the very end of a set where you cannot do any more, and especially if you don't have a training partner, the partial repetitions are good for eking out a little bit more out of the exercise.” IfsLittlesEndsUsedBitsFansExerciseLittle BitTrainingTechniquePartnersRepetitionTraining Partners Author:Lee Labrada
“I do media every day I tour and the travel itself is a bit testing, so I don't get to do much gregarious activity when I'm on the road, but I do enough barbequing and enough hanging out and training with enough law enforcement and military to keep me bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and to make sure my guitar solos every night breath fire.” EnoughLawNightBitsFireMediaMilitaryActivityTrainingBreathsGuitarHanging OutEvery NightSoloLaw EnforcementEnforcementTestingGregariousGuitar Solos Author:Ted Nugent
“Sometimes work is a bit slow, and I always wanted to be a princess at Disneyland. There were 1,500 of us who auditioned, and 11 of us were hired.

“As far as sleeping goes, you're up and ready to go at six in the morning. Spring training was always a combination of relaxing and working, and I missed that quite a bit.

“I became a manager very young. My first sous chef job I was, maybe, 25. It was a bit too early for me. But it's on-the-job training. You really just get stuck in there and it's trial and error.

And if you do, you just keep trying to fix it.” IfsTryingFirstsJobsYoungBitsMistakeTrainingErrorsStuckTrialsHopefullyManagersChefKeep TryingTrial And ErrorJob Training Author:April Bloomfield
“The keys are, or were, the training methods used by the ancient mystery schools.
