Effortful Study: Continuously taking challenges that lie just beyond one's level of competence. When performance becomes automatic, it becomes impervious to further improvement.

An expert keeps the lid of his mind open all the time to inspect, critique, question, and augment its contents, and thereby approach and exceed the standards set by leaders in the field.

It ain't easy, but the results are tasty.
