8V: Mastery




 
Mastery is the concept of advancing to a very high level of proficiency at a specific subject or craft. When I hear the word Master the first thing that comes to mind is how in the movies when they mention a master it’s usually a very old man with an extreme amount of wisdom. This goes along with the idea that it usually takes a certain amount of time(on average at least 10 years or 10,000hours) before someone can be considered to have reached a level of mastery. It’s apparent that if we want to excel at something we’re going to have to put in a lot of hours of hard work and deliberate practice.

One of the new words I added to my vocabulary this week is deleterious. It means something that is harmful or negative.

Another word I learned is insipid which means to not have any taste or flavor. It also could mean lacking excitement or something boring.
