业精于勤 — "Mastery is refined by diligence." Written by the Tang dynasty poet Han Yu, this phrase became one of the most enduring pieces of wisdom in Chinese education.

In the Chinese scholarly tradition, dedicated daily practice was considered the highest form of self-respect. It was not about talent — talent was the beginning. Mastery came from the ten thousand repetitions after talent ran out.

You don\'t need to be brilliant. You need to return to the work one more time. And one more time after that.
