  1. He was one of those people who knew just what to do in any situation. He was strong and capable, and he knew this about himself. But she was on a higher plane, she took his confidence and made it look pathetic in the wake of her sheer power and strength over all of life’s foibles and missteps. There was only one thing she knew was certain of her place in the world at any given moment: mastery. She was mayster.

  9. mastery of any subject is difficult without applying yourself. you must study by whatever means you have. success can only come with hard work and perhaps a good memory. suppose you want to master the art of brain surgery. you must graduate from highschool, college, get into medical school, spend lots of time there, decide on your specialty, spend many more hours, graduate again, do residency and internship and then, and only then, will someone let you practice on their head. and by then we can only hope your mastery of brain surgery will be complete.

  11. Mastery, the title implies a near complete command of a skill or area, Mastery is the highest level one can achieve, personally mastery is the completion of a goal to me, one I hope to achieve with skill and patience, if I can master a martial art, a painting style or a craft then i consider myself having completed that area and ready to move on to the next. However if one achieves mastery where is there to go?

  17. mastery has got to be there, hierarchy. there’s got to be an enemy, got to be a friend. anarchism can’t work. you can’t go against the grain if there’s no grain there, and you can’t resent the grain.

    if you are the cashier, you can’t resent the manager. being the manager could just be their place in the world.

  18. he was the master of his own domain, he could not/would not see it any other way.

    he crumbled at the thought of letting it go, allowing it to flow, to breath to be, to feel, to go, to move.

    he was the master cause he didn’t move, he stayed in place and watched the rest of the world change around him. in the end, he was the strongest tree, with the thickest trunk… and when the wind finally came it cracked him in half because he never learned how to bend.

  19. Mastery….makes me think of golf, of video games. But then, moving past the Dungeons and Dragons, it reminds me of myself, of my potential lately. Mastery. Sounds like something a motivational speaker would say, something that would plug into their speech. A buzz word. But no, not for me. for me it will be something like a goal, like a plan. Perhaps it will be just idealism.

  26. mastery of a skill is something truly, indisputably worth while. Some people value themselves, and others, according to how much money they make, or how much they have in the way of personal possessions. I consider such people retards.

  28. It wasn’t often that Jack could say that he was the master of his own fate. No, that would have been too easy for the poor bastard. He hadn’t been the same since they’d committed him to The Institution, either. For many nights, he crawled surreptitiously under the other inmates beds.

  35. mastery over your instrument takes time, unless of course you cheat and get the soul-graft that HendrixCorp are offering these days. but why would anyone do that, I wondered?
