The best thing I heard the whole week was to have Sam and Aisha, my salsa instructors to tell me:
"You've improved so much,"
"It's so easy to lead you now,"
"You're no longer nervous but now have the skills of fake it till you make it,"
"Consistency pays."
To me, their compliments are precious because it's rare, their standards are absolutely high so they really mean it and it's not for pulling my legs. If you are no good, Sam is not relentless to pass his sarcastic comments. Of course, they don't know the story behind: the diligent practices with Jim every Wednesdays.
I remember asking Jim, "what do I get from these practices?" Jim replied by saying that we will both improve in it. At that time, I felt all the practices were a little too drilling for me. I make time for something, it also means I have to give up other things till I got a little frustrated.
But now I realize I can't afford to lose the practices especially when they are key to improving my moves. With Jim away to conquer the seas, I will be missing a few practices again. A whole month in fact!!! I need to find an alternative.
