It’s easy to forget, especially for an old bachelor like me, that we are all born knowing_nothing at all._ We have to learn how to do everything. Like learning to breathe and swallow. So shoelace tying is pretty darn intricate. In addition to learning all these how-to’s, we have to learn how-to-fail. Once you’re hopelessly lost on a task, go back to square one. Start over. Don’t keep going in the mistaken belief that you can fix it. Don’t panic. Just start over. Repetition is how you learn these skills.

Cut your losses and get new shoelaces. Don’t forget spares.

“Beautifully” doesn’t strike me as a word a kid would use, especially in this context.
