The mundanity of excellence

  • The most dazzling human achievements are the aggregate of countless individual elements, each of which is, in a sense, ordinary.
  • Superlative performance is really a confluence of dozens of small skills or activities, each on learned or stumbled upon, which have been carefully drilled into habit and then are fitted together in a synthesized whole. There is nothing extraordinary or superhuman in any one of those actions; only the fact that they are done consistently and correctly, and all together, produce excellence." The Mundanity of Excellence: An Ethnographic Report on Stratification and Olympic Swimmers

최상급 기량은 사실 수십개의 작은 기술 및 동작 하나하나를 배우거나 우연히 깨치고, 주의 깊은 연습을 통해 습관을 만들고, 전체 동작으로 종합해서 나온 결과물이다. 부분 동작들 중에서 비범하거나 초인적인 동작은 하나도 없다. 정확하게 실해오딘 동작들이 합해쳐 탁월한 기량이 나올 뿐이다.


개인 또는 집단에서

  • small skill or activities 사소한 것들이라 말하는 것들?
  • habit 습관적이라 말하는 것들?
  • consistently and correctly 어떤 상황에서 지속적으로 정확하게 보이는 것들?
