Never dream about excellence,
work for it ...
CXPro Academy
Ultimate Sharpener Education
"Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly.
We are what we repeatedly do.
Excellence is not an act but a habit."
[Aristotle]
Knowledge
Transmission is an art, a technique based on ancestral knowledge.
never endorse a haphazard approach!
Know-How
The precise gesture gained from intensive practice.
No place for approximate actions, incomplete or unsuitable approaches.
Skills/Abilities
The most accurate tool is your hand...
The complete mastery of movement and gesture is the only way to become autonomous, flexible and have the ability to work on any equipment.
Never rely on fancy tools and gadgets to supplement a deficiency or fill a knowledge gap.
Learn instead.
