Saw this quote tonight from Dai Vernon. Even though he was talking about card magic, I think it applies pretty well to pool, and was worth sharing.
"First, you must thoroughly understand what you aim to accomplish before you practice. Practice must be enjoyable or you will never really excel. When you are engaged in practicing, constantly use your head. Keep trying to figure out the reason for every move. Otherwise you will just become a monkey, and there are too many among the magical fraternity already!"
