Keep clapping

When hit by a bad surprise, when stumbling over a mistake, we should always keep going, just like the clapping game. It is not about how accurately we clap, but how well we could leave the misses behind and keep clapping. The more we try, the sooner we will get it right.

My piano teacher used to telling me the same. A piece is complete when you complete it. If you can't get over your mistakes and keeping repeating that part, you will forever be stuck there. The more imperative thing is to continue, never ever stop.
