practice

In "The Learning Curve", Atul Gawande states that "we need practice to get good at what we do," from his experience of medicine career. His description makes me recall the story of part-time job. I work in an assembly department of an electronic company. My job is to running the assembly-teach-in program in the computer with my partner. Actually, my partner is my instructor too. She teaches me all the skills of programming, and answer my questions when I get something which is confusing. However, I was too getting used to answer questions to her, so I don't even have the ability to work individually. I didn't notice it's a big deal until my parner took a one-month vocation. I got stuck on my work almost every few minutes without her. At that moment, I understand how important practice is. I have always worked depend on her and given up the chances of practice, and it's the worst habit of doing everything.
