Experience Cannot Be Beat

Confidence easily had 
Is a matter of practice
Things that start out prickly bad
Can smooth the thorniest cactus.

Tenacious trial and error
Experience cannot be beat.
If you honestly care
To delve into a new feat.

Encourage yourself to try
And you will never be askance
Effort’s product will magnify
Tenacious person’s honest dance.

Confidence along with hard work
Is an amazing little perk.
