Constantly Challenging Yourself Is The Only Way To Stay On Top

This truth becomes even more true when you become an expert in a field.

After years of effort, you have finally achieved a level of mastery well above average in your chosen field. You achieve excellence and begin to enjoy the fruits of your hard work over many years. Gradually, you settle into a kind of comfort without even realizing it.

While you were always eager for new knowledge, you have to be more selective and take a high view of some beginners on the pretext that they would have nothing to teach you. Indeed, you have a much higher level now. You are only interested in expert people. All you want to do is rub shoulders with the elite in your field.

This attitude is a monumental mistake that will lock you in an ivory tower in which you will cut yourself off from reality. This is the best way to lose the excellence you once pursued body and soul.
