Deep within any skill, there lie qualities that transfer to everything else.  Creativity.  Attention to detail.  Adaptability.  The list goes on.  I’ve seen many attempt to learn a skill and stop short of reaching these treasures, even though water waits at the bottom of their respective well.  I’ve also seen a few that dig out of sheer stubbornness, though it’s clearly time to switch to another pursuit.  So in the quest for mastery, I’ve learned that there are two fundamentals:  Consistency, and the wisdom to know when to dig elsewhere.

    Wise words. I spent more years than I care to mention working on projects within a bubble, then realising they were not working. So, of late onto another ‘well’ and using more sophisticated tools that bare hands and a ‘pointed stick’

    1. It was time well spent if you learned more sophisticated tools! I’m sure you’ll get there as long as you keep going. Good luck!
