I’m sure you have, Harmony. After all, you probably fell down many times when learning how to walk.

Sorry, I was being honest and playful at the same time. Yes, I have stuck with a thing or two.

@ Sheamus, exactly, I’m sure he misses wildly all the time. And yet that didn’t deter him from practicing over and over again. I’m not sure how much it helps his performances if he can’t do these tricks consistently, but for a demo video, he only needs to do them once.

@ Harmony, maybe you’ve given up quickly at times, but surely you’ve persisted more on things that were more important to you.

@ Barbara, yes, videos like this make me want to practice juggling more. Unfortunately, the people at my juggling club aren’t into the same things I am, so it’s hard to find group support. It’s easier to stay motivated when you’re with other people who are working on the same things.

Hunter,

That’s amazing. Does watching videos like that make you want to practice your juggling more?

What a rush that must be for Tim Nolan when he “nails it”. His many hours of practice proves anything is possible if we’re willing to put time into it.

Heck Hunter, I have given up before I finished the first try!

Amazing! One has to wonder how many takes you don't see where he misses wildly, but nevertheless it's impressive stuff. Sheamus's last blog post..Today You Die (2005). A Review.
