The Intelligent Practitioner

In many ways I’m jealous of the new Jiu-Jitsu practitioner or the new investor or the new music learner, the new poker player, the new salesperson, the new interview practitioner.  Because the concept are new and after reading and studying.  Then failing comes understanding.  With the understand become the foundation of that persons’ practice which that person will find themselves new.

A new perspective a new character and understanding that develops their practice in any direction they choose.  When the material is read for the first time it begins, then digested the second, 5th, 6th.  It makes no difference how many times because the practitioner will understand what direction to go.  With the direction and conviction in their own belief they will achieve the status of genius in their respective craft. 

That is why I’m jealous because I was that person and after developing my foundation there is something less than exciting for practice.  Also in turn, I take way of sensei, or business professional, card shark, professional seller, musician a master of many crafts.  From the excitement of development comes the strength of confidence and from that I appreciate.
