Never fall into the trap of telling yourself that if I keep doing x, y will happen. Hear me out! This is not an argument against persistence or perseverance.
The problem is that, the probability of y being a predictable function of x is small. The result of your x inputs is always a function of x, though. x two times is 2x. x x times is x^2. x x^2 + 5 times is x^3 + 5x. But the chance of your x-inputs resulting in a y is not predetermined by the amount of x, you put in. There are too many other factors that could influence your outcome.
Do x for x's sake, because one thing you can always count on is getting more "x".
Practically speaking, how many times have you said to yourself:
"If I keep being nice to him/her/them, they will like me."
"If I stop talking too much, he will stop beating me."
"If I lose enough weight, she will think I'm handsome and want to marry me."
"If I keep working hard, I'll be a millionanire."
"If I keep being nice to him/her/them, they will like me."
"If I stop talking too much, he will stop beating me."
"If I lose enough weight, she will think I'm handsome and want to marry me."
"If I keep working hard, I'll be a millionanire."
DO x FOR x's SAKE!
