It’s Always Better Tomorrow

A beautiful thing happens when you sleep. 

Everything you learned that day lives in your short-term memory. When you sleep, it's downloaded into your long-term memory.

Practice and get enough sleep enough days in a row, then you generate real momentum.

It will always feel better the next day. Even if only by one percent.
