Completion is a goal, but we hope it is never the end.

To reach an audacious goal, we sometimes benefit from having it lie just beyond our grasp.

Success is a label that the world confers on you, but mastery is an ever-onward 'almost.'

Pain is not a punishment. And pleasure is not a reward. You could argue that failure is not punishment and Success is not reward. They're just failure and success. You can choose how you respond.

Masters are not experts because they take a subject to its conceptual end. They are masters because they realize that there isn't one. On utterly smooth ground, the path from aim to attainment is in the permanent future.

The pursuit of mastery is an ever-onward almost.

Play allows us to maintain curiosity while learning.
