The 5 Ps to start and perfect a hobby, pastime or a skill

Be it a Marathon or Yoga or learning new skills for your profession, here are the five Ps:
– Participate – meaning enroll first and start going and learning, ensure your momentum is there and you are not procastinating
– Prepare – start getting involved and getting to know the nuances of whatever you want to acquire or learn, be interested and stay in the game.
– Push – try hard, push yourself and continuously improve day by day
– Persist – there would be times you would think to quit but do not – be there, and continue to excel and get better,
and
– Perfect – with usage and experience (time in job, they say), you get to perfect what you do.

And at last , be Proud (the 6th P !)
