Principles of Growth

From a novice beginner, to an experienced pro,
It doesn't happen in a jiffy, there are stages to go.
Expertise at different levels, skills picked up on the way,
New behaviours beckon from future, old ones in the past stay.

The infant first learns to turn, the toddler first to crawl,
Progressing from level to level, it eventually stands tall.
Baby steps in a walker, are replaced with a confident gait,
As it starts to walk and run, to finish marathons it can't wait.

Academic progression too is linear, to join school you have to finish KG,
You won't be bestowed a doctorate, till you are above the level of a PG.
To master a field like piano or chess, you need to walk a thousand mile,
While you are starting and fumble, people look other ways and brush off with a smile.

Why should moral development be any different, I'll keep morphing as I grow,
Our character doesn't emerge fully formed, it grows daily as we till and sow.
