I read about these 4 stages before too, and they similarly made a lasting impact on me. We actually often talk about this in software development too - and the unconscious incompetent are the most dangerous software developers to have around They break software programs, but don't realize they are doing it ;). At least if you're consciously incompetent, you'll make an effort to limit the damage ;) .-= Sid Savara´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SidSavara/~3/YzhCib_9usg/procrastination-excuses" rel="nofollow">7 Common Procrastination Excuses</a> =-.

Long time man! Good to hear that things are still good with you :) Awesome martial arts analogy. A lot of the time our 'treasures' or 'mastery' is already within us or we have it already, we just need to go through a massive journey to realize and understand that we had it within us all along. We need to awaken the inner master so to speak. This takes time, practice, experience and perseverance. Cheers! Hey Yavor!

I can really relate to this. While playing basketball, all the way from 1st grade league to the college level these steps of mastery have been really evident. As an athlete, I think the most important state might be conscious incompetence. It's that point where you realize, "I'm not the best and know everything," and take the time to listen to coaches and apply what they tell you. Great post, Diggy. Hope all is well. .-= Nate´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.thewaythatyouwander.com/holy-crap-its-been-a-while/" rel="nofollow">holy crap it’s been a while</a> =-. What a fantastic post.
