…that you have worked ought to be tutelage but, we hardly get that these days, we just work through under a ‘master’ does not qualify you as a ‘master’.
‘Mastership’ is a process many a times, tedious where one works consciously and continually to learn a trade.
Haha, no wonder someone okay, one of my Professors back in school said; “Master a good technique, then, leave yourself to inspiration.”

Wen the mastery of a thing is complete, inspiration is all we hav left…

I absolutely hate this word press comment form which needs me to leave my name, email and website before I post a comment….Im always in a hurry and sometimes it actually puts me off leaving a comment even though i will be dying too (Okay rant out of the way, clearly someone needs to get laid lol)
These days we just work to put food on the table and afford the Jimmy Choos and the Condo by the lake. Very rarely do i meet people with a passion for thier work, most of the times its just a job that pays the bills

well I think the only thing one must seek to master is the self. When u master yourself everything else comes.

When you work under a master…..you are training to be like the master. You will become the master when the master is gone

@ naijagirl..y be the master. Y not be your own self.
@ rethots…the word is learning which i believe includes obssrvation. I think a “servant” should observe the master and make his/her own way. Make whatever you learn yours and improve on it, so you are not just continuing the masters work but also inventing yours.

The professor’s quote made me giggle a bit.
I read a book that advised that we must never feel we’ve “got it made.” If we do, then we will stop increasing. So I agree that to become a Master at something shd be a continuous process…never to be stopped. I like this thought!

so agree with yr professor bro…. all we can do is learn the basics of the trade… the extras come from inspiration…

hmmm
i’ll have to keep that thought
master a good thing then leave it up to inspiration
hmmmm
question

lol

By: Kafo on March 12, 2009

True talk. Learning the basics is the first and most important step to becoming a master and legend. . . Inspiration does the rest. Thus everyone could actually become a master in whatever he or she does. Your professor could not have been more correct!

I’ve always felt becoming a ‘Master’ is about knowing a little about everything… rather than Everything about little..

Why turn of comments? Have you become a Master already that you don’t need our puny comments anymore?
Remember, Mastership is a continuous exercise.

…i was wodnering what n.i.m.m.o. was wondering about offing the comments;)…long time chairman…how is it?…
…can one ever truly master anything?…isn’t there always some more to learn?…if anyone ever says that i have mastered something, i’ll be very troubled…i think part of the inspiration that i draw is the inability to ever master…even the self…always striving to be better, to better understand, on and on…but that keeps us going…once we think we’ve mastered, gotten a handle on something, something else comes along to challenge that and make us rethink…right?…or maybe that’s just how it works for me…nice read…i really wish i had more time to read all of you…*sigh as she turns back to the paper she is supposed to be writing about lacan*…
