There is technique to every art

I jog in the mornings. A recent passion.
Over the past few years, I had tried everything to boost up my stamina. But barely a km of running and i was puffing and panting like those coal locomotives. Almost gave up the thought that I could do any long distance running.
But then a friend confided."The way to do it is .. stop running. Dont sprint. Just jog along at a steady consistent pace and you'll soon be on an auto pilot when your second wind catches up with you."
It worked.
Whatever activity you do in life-- be it jogging, pottery or painting.. remember there is a technique behind it. If you are smart ( and lucky!) , you'll discover it yourself. But never be afraid to ask and learn.
It works!
