Perfection

Training must be a path striving for perfection. If it is not, training becomes about "keeping up" or "staying afloat." This is not the mastery that one aims for, of both execution and mental focus.

In some sense, this is an indictment against training broadly instead of deeply. Broad knowledge cannot lead to perfection or mastery, only deep training can.

Of course, perfection may not be something attainable in a real sense, but the journey towards that goal is what makes the difference. The mission for such perfection empowers more than the attainment of it.
