Mastery

The path to mastery requires a commitment to a specific field. We have to be wary that we can be anything, but not everything. After choosing our field we'll begin to spend more time with that field and begin to gain insight. Let’s take the example of mastering fire. Having no idea about fire we would begin by reading a book about fire. Yet, merely reading about fire isn't mastering fire. It's only the initial level of knowledge. As we go deeper into the subject of fire we will naturally find that we can also smell fire, see fire, and feel the warmth of a fire, but not till we actually made fire we will fully understand it.
Different levels of knowledge! Once you think you understand something: Look again! In the process of mastery, you might get burned and it hurts, but even the pain is a different level of experience you need to be able to say that you are a master. Once you become a master you will most likely be hesitant to call yourself one as you understand how much you still don't know...
