Building the Attitude.
When you begin, embrace the model masterpiece gently. As much as you can observe, as much as you can feel, and as much as you can analyse, study and learn from it. With as much care and respect you can give.
In making the first copy, especially the first letter or set of letters, always begin as gentle as possible, build and construct your lines with cautious study, crafting it in its finest form, with a yearning not to hurt it by destroying its properties. With all possibilities, this should be your most sensitive concern. One must burn its time, energy and a deep pitch of patience for this. Repeat is an act of strength, to repair any handicaps, to fold over weaknesses and faults, developing dexterity, as much as one could be satisfied.
As you move on to the next letter or set, you will embrace them again, study them again, and refine the fundamentals and discipline from the practise of previous letters. And so on to the next letters. Unlearn and relearn, and repeat the drills. As you face new letters, it should get more difficult.
One must understand beyond the perfection of letters and skills. The importance of developing a perfect attitude should supersede your capacity and talent. And when you have refined your letters a million times, lets keep hoping that those letters will stay and live in you forever.
