Driving a manual car

I'm sure many of you have had similar experiences with "If you keep practicing all the time, one day you'll have a moment when you can suddenly do it.I think it is common for people to say "I'm sorry.

I was a piano student until my senior year of high school, when I decided to go to music school.(I ended up falling behind and quitting.)given a difficult assignment," he said.I can't put my finger on this, I can never do it.Many times, even though I thought I was playing well, I kept practicing, and one moment, I would suddenly be able to play it quickly.

A long time has passed since then, and I am now in the midst of aIn driving a manual car, one day you canI'm just getting a taste of the "what if" experience on a daily basis.

Suddenly, one day, I am able to pedal with awareness of both the gas pedal and clutch, one day, I am able to shift gears smoothly while considering RPM and vehicle speed, one day, I am able to grasp the sensation of slowly agitating the accelerator...

That moment always comes out of the blue and says, "I'm not sure I'm ready for this."Whoa! I don't know what it is, but I can do it!I can't help but smile as I drive. But at the same time, I also think like this.

Why couldn't I do something as simple as this before..."

And.

As for bicycles, I used to fall down many times before I could ride, but once I could ride, I couldn't understand why I couldn't ride... It's the same with driving a manual car; I had to work so hard for 3 years, but once I could drive, I could ride. I had to work so hard for 3 years to be able to drive a manual car.I don't understand why I was so bitter and afraid (laughs).

When teaching novice drivers

And the other day, I was talking with mothers from my oldest daughter's kindergarten, and we were talking about me driving a manual car, and one mother said something like this.

Wow that's great, I wish I could tell you about it.

I know that this statement is completely in the spirit of the conversation, and I don't really mean it (laughs), but if I were to teach a beginner how to drive a manual car today, I would say(Maybe I'll teach my daughters in the future.)I wondered how they would do it.

Generally speaking, anything that is "not aIt is many times more difficult to teach someone than to be able to do it yourself.It is considered to be "a good idea," but I really think it is also true about driving a manual car.

I've given this a lot of thought, and in my case, the biggest barrier to manual driving is the "The mentality that I can't drive, that I can't, that I'm afraid.It was." The technical aspects came after that, and I thought the key was to clear the mental part first.

With that in mind, the first thing I would do, being in a teaching position, would be to

(1) Create an atmosphere of "Failure OK!
(2) Praise small growth

I think the two points are

When I was able to drive a manual, I was "What if it stalls at a stoplight and can't start?"What if it slides down the hill?I was extremely afraid of making mistakes, such as

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay! If the car stalls, don't be in a hurry and try again, and if you can't, just put the hazard out and everyone will avoid you." "If you make a mistake, the car won't go out of control, it will just stop, and you'll be fine."

and so on, first of all.It's totally OK to fail!I guess I would create an air of "I'm a good driver" and make people feel safe and secure.(This may be annoying for the cars following us, but we're all passing through, so please give me a warm welcome.)

On top of that, there should definitely be some small growth and progress in each practice, so I praise them for that. "When starting off, the car was rattling and almost stalling, but now it's a little smoother.or "My shoulders were stiff and stiff, but now I'm able to drive a little more relaxed.or some other small little growth like that."You can do it better than before!I praise you," he says.

Repeat that.It's done.As the number of "I's" increases, I believe these will lead to more confidence and gradually the fear of driving will disappear. The skill stuff will come after that.I can do it!If you can think, "I'm not going to practice," you will surely be more willing to practice afterwards.

For my MT practice

When I think about it that way, my instructor (my husband) is not the type to praise people as far as I can tell, so every time I go to a manual practice

What the hell, why can't you do something as simple as that!"
What's wrong with you! You're even worse than before!"
"When the 320i is delivered, I'm not going to say, 'Well, I'm not going to get it,' anyway.No! I can't! I'm going to have to buy back the golf course.I'm not saying, 'I'm not a good person,' or something like that."

I was losing confidence and feeling disheartened every time they said something like "I'm not a good person.(My husband himself is aware that he is not suited for human resource development...w)

When I think about it, I think, "I don't know how you managed to drive a manual car so hard from that state - that's crazy great!I felt like patting myself on the back (laughs).

However, before teaching others, I must first improve my own driving skills, so I will work harder.
