During my pilot training I reached the point where it was time to learn to land. Since landing is more challenging than the other phases of flight, I felt some trepidation. Sensing this, my instructor said matter-of-factly, "You're going to make a hundred bad landings before you make a good one. Let's get started." And we did.
I only made a handful of marginal landings—and none I would call bad—before I solidified my technique.
