The Competency Continuum

When taken out of context, some of the best inspiration can come from the Hallmark card aisle and television commercials. Case in point, the latest ad from GMC trucks, which proudly proclaims:

"Amateurs work until they get it right. Professionals work until they can't get it wrong."

Now I don't know if this makes me want to buy a Denali or their new Acadia, but continuing to develop a skill past "get it right" and all the way to "can't get it wrong" is an interesting notion, isn't it?

Case in point: I went bowling last week - first time in a long time - and a Competency Continuum was certainly apparent. Some shots I couldn't make for the life of me - like the 7/10 split. Others - like my strike ball - I could get right sometimes, but not always. And some of the easy-peasy spares I never missed.

So where are you on the Competency Continuum? And what would help increase your pin-count, as it were?
