Perfect Attention

Basic obedience if often times down played as unimportant yet it is the foundation in which all other learning is to be built. If the basics are poor or incomplete, future learning of anything will be poor or unobtainable. Basics are the MOST important in all learning. If your house is built on sand, it will eventually crumble under pressure.

Attention is a reciprocal exercise and essential for maximizing the learning of anything as is maintaining a logical progression to learning for fairness and ease of learning. Consider attention, step one.
