Certainly setting oneself out to log in the hours alone is a fool's quest. But what about trying to meticulously go over every single on of these points for the purpose of mastery? If you already have them it sounds great. If you're missing a few and can learn to adopt them, great! But to adopt this system to satisfy the image of master would be very ... unpleasant I imagine.

Mastery is a subject that is often mentioned, referenced, or alluded to (and sometimes, claimed without earning it) -- but finding specific data about its nature is uncommon. <br /><br />About his point re: the necessity to integrate the rational and the intuitive. Having been raised in a "rational" manner, for many years I trended toward a bias for intuitive thinking. Now, not so much. I believe that Lin Yutang wrote about this subject as well, and said that, ultimately, the Chinese considered "reasonable" to be the best balance between the two.<br /><br />Thanks, Rick!walthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01388218390016612051noreply@blogger.com
