The never ending Cycle of excellence
Achieving excellence requires a deep understanding of the substantial effort and dedication necessary to master a skill or craft. Many individuals mistakenly believe that initial attempts represent the full extent of hard work needed, lacking the context of true production experience. As one progresses and becomes proficient, an awakening occurs regarding the vast hours and commitment required for greatness. This epiphany emphasizes the need to carefully select a limited number of areas to focus on, as it may take five to seven years to attain exceptional skill in any one domain. Feedback from experts reveals the stark contrast between current abilities and desired outcomes, highlighting the importance of a rigorous self-assessment. Recognizing and documenting the multitude of improvements needed forms a comprehensive action plan, creating an extensive list that can often seem overwhelming. The pursuit of excellence is characterized by continuous effort, where daily work leads to incremental progress while simultaneously uncovering further areas for development, thus perpetuating an ongoing cycle of striving for higher standards of excellence.
