Even when you become a great tennis pro, you still have to keep your eye on the ball. In the same way, when you practice, keep your eye on your actions.

"When you’re playing tennis, the first lesson is keep your eye on the ball. You never forget that. Even when you become a great pro, you still have to keep your eye on the ball. In the same way, when you practice, keep your eye on your actions, because that’s where everything will become clear."

~ Thanissaro Bhikkhu "Reflections on Kamma"
