the strategy of mastery

 

These are words I took verbatim from my favorite scene in my favorite documentary, Jiro Dreams of Sushi.

The film documents the life of Jiro Ono, Japan's greatest sushi chef- the first sushi chef ever to be awarded three Michelin Stars.

The movie was a huge hit, and I have two thoughts on why this was so:

ONE: It's a film about Mastery. You may not be a billionaire, you may not be a hot-shot celebrity rock star or famous politician, but you can still be a bad-ass by being a master of something.

Just find something useful, dedicate yourself to it every day, achieve mastery at it, and you'll be just as happy and satisfied as anyone else.

It's a far more edifying path to success (not to mention, likely) than hanging around, waiting to get discovered, waiting to get “picked” by the establishment.

BITE-SIZE PIECES: Jiro doesn't have a chain of restaurants and his own TV show, like other famous chefs. He's just got a small, underground 10-seater in a Tokyo subway station. Not much bigger than a food truck.

So he's earned his success, not with some big, grandiose plan (“It's the Uber of Chipotle”), but just one piece of sushi, one bite-size piece at a time.

This Mastery + Bite Size Pieces strategy had a huge impact on me. I spent so many years, wondering what my “big plan” was. But after seeing this film, I realized I don't need a big plan, I just needed to roll up my sleeve and get to work. It was very liberating.

Leaked List From Jeremy Corbyn's Parliamentary Office Is The Most Damning Yet

Following the leak of a spreadsheet containing Labour MPs sorted into categories based on their hostility, documents have begun slipping from Jeremy Corbyn's office and into the public eye.

On Wednesday another piece of paper was found in a parliamentary tea room which featured notes on those in "Team Hostile", complete with nicknames for each one.

HuffPost UK has now gained exclusive access to an entire book originating from the Labour leader's office and can reveal some of the contents.
