A Lesson from Juggling

It came to be that the are 2 stress ball in my house taken from hotels. One black another yellow. And so, one day a week ago I have nothing better to do and started to try to juggle those two balls with one hand.

First I throw I ball in the air with my right hand and than catch it with my left, one ball at a time. I did that several times and it was not so difficult. But that didn't achieve my target of juggling with one hand.

Then I started to throw both balls in the air between the hands and catch it simultaneously. I repeat that again for several times and that was so difficult to do either. But again that didn't achieve my target of juggling with one hand.

And so, with both balls in my hand I started to throw one in the air, as soon as the first ball started to fall, I throw the other ball in the air and catch the one falling with the same hand. At first I only manage to do that three times consecutively. The most I can do was 6 times and no matter how many times I tried I can't make it past that.

So I started to change the rhythm of throwing and catching. First I tried a faster pace, later I tried a slower pace. Well suffice to say I still can't get the hang of juggling 2 balls with one hand (i sounds so easy!!) but now at least I can manage 10 consecutive throws consistently.

So, what's the point of this whole article? Well it's up to you to decide really.
