There are several issues that are addressed about commitment to one’s craft and all are worth considering in light of our own work. But what struck me was the notion of doing the same thing every day, never being satisfied, always striving to do better, never getting complacent, always looking for new ideas. True mastery is only sought after, never achieved. There’s a nice side bar about passing on one’s business and why that is so difficult in a trade in which people identify what you do with you. I found it meaningful. Worth a look. Nothing terribly woo woo, very grounding. At least I thought it was. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); "><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); ">David Love<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); "><a href="http://www.davidlovepianos.com" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; ">www.davidlovepianos.com</a></span></div></div></div></div></span></blockquote></div></body></html>
