8V Mastery

Mastery: comprehensive knowledge or skill in a subject or accomplishment.

You can't just be good at something to reach mastery.  Becoming a master at something takes a lot of time and dedication.  Reaching the level of mastery at something also takes a lot of motivation.  If you aren't willing to take the time and effort to do something, you are never going to master it.  It is believed that you have to practice something for 10,000 hours before mastering it.  This is known as the  10,000 hour rule.  You will not be a master at something unless you completely dominate some skill.
