In this engaging Ted Talk, historian Sarah Lewis shares some eye-opening insights gained while working at the Museum of Modern Art and watching a group of archers in action. The main takeaway here is the difference between success and mastery. Success is like a fleeting moment, but mastery is all about the constant pursuit of improvement, often triggered by what the speaker calls "near wins." They use examples from famous artists like Elizabeth Murray and Paul Cézanne, as well as writer Franz Kafka, who all believed in the power of the unfinished and the drive to keep going.
The bottom line is that true mastery is a continuous journey, and it's all about thriving at the edge of what you know. So, if you're on a job hunt, remember that it's not just about getting that one job; it's about embracing the process of improvement and the power of the almost-achievements along the way.
