Sometimes, we are too clever for our own good. Especially when it comes to learning something.
Some things must be learnt in stages. There are no short cuts. One step at a time. Practise what you are taught, and you will eventually get there.
But sometimes we are too clever for our own good. We try to think we know better. We try to put our own little theory together, and think that we understand things better than our teacher. We think this newfound understanding helps us to learn faster.
Sometimes, that "understanding" is actually us not really understanding. Instead of bringing us faster to our goal, we end up taking an even longer route.
We may be smart, we may be clever, but sometimes, it is not about how smart or clever one is. It is about how much one practises, how much effort one puts in.
