Fine Tuning the Abstract
In painting IMO the most time consuming, at the same time most fun part is the fine tuning of work after grasped the concept to express, to transform it to a deliverable product. This imitates me some thoughts in these few years ...
Like piano, long-term practices on the pure and flawless chords behind the pianist equip him to deliver his most delicate performance.
The continual attempts on searching for exact harmonic combination of smell and taste differ the dishes from food to cuisine.
Continual practices on muscular flexibility and strength of ballerinas accommodate them to achieve the exquisitely elegant postures.
Likewise, continual practices on experiencing and reflecting in every social interaction makes a person adaptive to every different kinds of individuals and circumstances.
What I wanna say is, fine-tuning by time mold an amateur to a professional.
Once they were only the incomplete and abstract concepts, through fine-polishing for the kernel belief, plus a little congenital merit and acquired cultivation, the imperfect are now distilled to present the enchanting masterpieces.
This somewhat applies to all fields, in programming, in writing, in anywhere people want to strive for the good work.
This reminds me to do my utmost always, though we must stumble at some points in the abstract, persist to go - like rowing upstream, if we are not ready to advance, we are probably heading to roll back. Keep going for the goal, by time we will know our effort will never be in vain. And this is my belief.
