These days, most people are aware of the environmental impact of motor vehicles, and they realise
that cars are responsible for many of the problems facing their cities. Not many people, however, ever
stop to think about how much money they would save by switching from driving to cycling.
Cars cost a lot to buy, and unlike other major investments such as houses, they quickly
lose their value. On top of that, there are running costs such as repair bills, tax and insurance,
all of which seem to go up every year.
Bicycles, by contrast, are far less expensive to purchase and maintain, do not require petrol and are
easy to park. And if a lot more people took up cycling, the government could spend less of the nation's
resources on roads, which at present their taxes help pay for whether they drive on them or not.

The old adage ‘practice makes perfect’ has taken on special significance in recent times. Its message is
simple: if you do something over and over again, then your performance will improve. Although often
applied to music and sports - both of which are areas in which the necessity to practise is self-evident - the
value of practice in other areas of life should not be underestimated. In fact, studies seem to indicate that
practice (or experience) plays a greater role in success than natural talent, if such a thing exists.
 Studies have demonstrated that high achievers are in fact no more gifted or intelligent than their
contemporaries; rather, the difference lies in the amount of practice they put in. In the 1980s, Benjamin
Bloom, a professor of education at the University of Chicago, conducted an investigation into the
factors that had led to people excelling in different fields. He concluded that there was nothing in the
early childhoods of these high achievers that could have predicted their later success. The subjects of
his research did, however, have certain features in common, namely, that they all had dedicated
teachers and supportive families, and they had all put in intensive practice.
K. Anders Ericsson, a professor of Psychology at Florida State University, who has carried out
research spanning more than two decades into giftedness, expertise, and the benefits of practice,
concludes that experts are invariably made, and not born. However, Ericsson’s research has also
indicated that what counts is not just the amount of practice a person puts in, but rather, the way in
which they practise. If a person believes that it takes real talent to excel in a certain area, then they
are likely to doubt their own ability to improve sufficiently to compete with others, and as a result
may give up trying. Conversely, the person who can learn from their mistakes, and believes that
they have the capacity to improve, is more likely to succeed.
In other words, experience really does count. Or as another old adage puts it, ‘nothing succeeds like
success’. The key to success is motivation and an understanding that practice really does make perfect.
