What distinguishes the master from the amateur?
Motivation / / December 19, 2019
The answer to this question - one of the most important in everyone's life. Why do you think? Quite simply, knowing the answer, it is easier to choose which type will join you, and it will affect the rest of your life.
Recently, I attended a sales training, it was sales leader who has consistently brought the highest earnings of the company and those who wanted to reach the results. Amazing moment was this: some of those who would also sell as a leader, displayed a dissatisfaction and assured that all the coach said he is familiar. The leader is actively involved in the training and perform all the tasks. Later, my question: "Was there anything new in this training for you?" He replied:
"One day I saw a statement by Leonardo da Vinci and took it on board," Nature is so taken care of everything that you find all over the place, a lot to learn. " I am convinced of this more than once. These trainings I passed many times and each time carried away with something new, or recall the well-forgotten old. "
I liked this answer, I can now tell the difference between an amateur from the master: the master knows something I do not know, but there is no dilettante. Once the philosopher Socrates is said to himself:
"The only thing I know is that I know nothing."
Amateur achieves a certain level and stable work, not developing, believing that nothing new ever know. He is completely convinced that he knows everything. A master never stops growing.
Tom Peters, the management guru, has a book "Man-brand", and in a chapter he wrote about the update, and in all spheres of life. There you can find 50 tips on how to diversify your life and broaden the horizons of knowledge. For example, I liked the advice to go to the shop and buy 10 new magazines or newspapers on a topic that never read.
Update is the continued development and growth. For comparison, take the software, it would seem that you can do with it new? But every time there is a new version, more secure, functional and productive! With the new version of a program, you get new opportunities. The same thing applies to your capabilities, they increase. For example, before the teachers developed a program and taught at home, in the classroom, face to face, but with the advent of the Internet, many are looking for tutors in Skype or buy online courses. Expand horizons, if you want to stay in the "game".
Once asked my business coach: "What to do, because if you read comes burnout the same material, sooner or later, will be unbearably boring? "She replied:" You have to go to study".
Please tell me, do you know the great merchants and successful people? Napoleon Hill, Robert Kiyosaki, Og Mandino, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Henry Ford. They conclude (s) of transactions in the millions, and constantly develop (s) of their skills. Take the example of successful people: we always have where to go and let this move will be up.
On the internet you can find an entertaining video with fleas: everyone knows that they jump in height, and very active. In the video, fleas covered glass jar and at the next jump, they hit the glass. A few days later, when the jar is removed, the flea is not even trying to jump higher. She stopped at the limit, which she asked. All trims and limits in our head, do not let anyone, either to himself or to others, to make you think that there is a boundary beyond which movement is impossible.
Remembering another philosopher, Seneca, and give his statement:
"What used you live, all life should learn."
Life as a gift, it is constantly ready something we bestow, and bring something new in our lives. John Kehoe, in his book "The subconscious can do anything," he wrote that he once wanted to surprise his lover and hid the gifts home. He reported this to the lady of the heart, and she began to search for, finding one gift, it is satisfied to stop, but he mentioned that presents more than one. Then she went and found two more gifts, was completely convinced that she had found it. When Kehoe said the 10 gifts, she was amazed. Do not stop their quest for knowledge, and then life will give you many opportunities.
At the end I want to give another parable: "In one village lived lumberjack, who received a penny from the sale of firewood and barely making ends meet. Trees he cut down in the near his home forest. One sunny day, when he is cut down another tree, he drew attention to a number of truant sage, and he said: - Come on!
Woodman heeded the advice and went further into the forest. There he found sandalwood, log them, he received from the sale of good money. The next morning, remembering the words of the wise man, he went further and found a scattering of silver ore, and the next day, going deeper into the forest, he found the cave of jewels ".
Now you know the answer to the question: what the master is different from the amateur. To whom do you want to join?
