As a sporty kid with good eye-hand coordination, I expected all things in life to come to me as easily as basketball and softball did.
To go from plunking around awkwardly, feeling out a piece, to faithfully (if slowly) performing it all the way through brings me an immense sense of accomplishment.
The pleasure of practicing, of marking my own progress, is, as hokey as it sounds, its own reward.
