In mastering one thing, you have mastered all things because you have learned how to learn.

I can think of no more worthwhile aim than pursuing mastery in this craft while transcending one’s own limitations.

The only way to consistently perform at your potential is to ask: Am I better than I was yesterday?

We must strive to become more daily. We must honestly assess our weaknesses and overcome them. We must work toward the highest possible version of ourselves. This is a worthy use of our time, but it is only when we do so with the ultimate aim of service to our fellow man that we really connect with something greater than ourselves. To contribute to the world in a positive way, this is the gift of life.

I have always found that effort is most easily produced when performed for the benefit of something external to ourselves.

There is no higher calling than service to your fellow man, and to do so through your own personal mastery of a craft is a gift enjoyed by few. Cultivate this gift, and give it away.

we must remember that the end of personal mastery is service to others.

In my own life, I have always viewed personal mastery as simply a medium through which I become capable of providing more service toward my fellow man.
