"Mastery is the best goal because the rich can't buy it, the impatient can't rush it, the privileged can't inherit it, and nobody can steal it. You can only earn it through hard work. Mastery is the ultimate status."

Before one begin anything, seek out your allies, people who are interested in what you are doing. Those people necessarily wont be any kind of dazzling people who never makes mistakes. But people who are not afraid of making mistakes. Therefore, such people’s work go unrecognized but they are just kind of people who transform the world and after many mistakes managed to do something that can make a real difference in the community.

The Allies

Bow is seen as source of life as the arrow will leave one day to the target but the bow will stay with you. A bow is shown as the extension of the Archer which can either serve to meditate or kill.Hence be clear about your intentions. Though, it has its own limitations. Hence it should become the part of your arm and extension of your thoughts.

THE BOW

The Arrow symbolizes the intention.It must be crystal clear and straight and balanced.Though never hold back from firing the arrow if all that paralyzes you is fear of making a mistake.If you never take a risk, you will never know what changes you need to make.Each arrow leaves a memory in your heart, and it is the sum of those memories that will make you shoot better and better.

The Arrow

The target is the objective to be reached.It was chosen by the archer and though it is a long way oﬀ, we cannot blame it when we fail to hit it. In this lies the beauty of the way of the bow: you can never excuse yourself by saying that your opponent was stronger than you. You were the one who chose the target and you are responsible for it. The target can be larger, smaller, to the right or the left , but you always have to stand before it, respect it, and bring it closer mentally.

The Target

Elegance is achieved when everything superfluous has been discarded, and the archer discovers simplicity and concentration; the simpler and more sober the posture, the more beautiful.

The Posture

The snow is lovely because it has only one color, the sea is lovely because it appears to be a completely flat surface, but both sea and snow are deep and know their own qualities.

The archer learns when he forgets all about the rules of the way of the bow and goes on to act entirely on instinct. In order, though to be able to forget the rules, it is necessary to respect them and to know them. When he reaches this state, he no longer needs the instruments that helped him to learn. He no longer needs the bow or the arrows or the target, because the path is more important than the thing that first set him on that path. Between one action and the next, the archer remembers everything he has done; he talks with his allies; he rests and is content with the fact of being alive

THE ARCHER WITHOUT BOW, WITHOUT ARROW, WITHOUT TARGET

The Archer uses archery as a metaphor for life’s challenges and our journey towards mastery and fulfillment.

From the #1 best-selling author of The Alchemist comes an inspiring story about a young man seeking wisdom from an elder, and the practical lessons imparted along the way. Includes stunning illustrations by Christoph Niemann. “A novelist who writes in a universal language.” —The New York Times In The Archer we meet Tetsuya, a man once famous for his prodigious gift with a bow and arrow but who has since retired from public life, and the boy who comes searching for him. The boy has many questions, and in answering them Tetsuya illustrates the way of the bow and the tenets of a meaningful life. Paulo Coelho's story suggests that living without a connection between action and soul cannot fulfill, that a life constricted by fear of rejection or failure is not a life worth living. Instead one must take risks, build courage, and embrace the unexpected journey fate has to offer. With the wisdom, generosity, simplicity, and grace that have made him an international best seller, Paulo Coelho provides the framework for a rewarding life: hard work, passion, purpose, thoughtfulness, the willingness to fail, and the urge to make a difference.

Depending on the kind of work, give your brain relevant cue for the maximum productivity.

Our mind is like a moody kid. No matter how much we try to balance and control it, it still reciprocate and make us feel different according to the cues it receives. The same work can make you feel like a researcher if you are doing it in a library and a robot if you are doing it in a workplace.

In today's world never settling has become synonymous to successful. Working late hours, burning out, cutting off with friends, living on coffee and pizza has become a fashion. Unfortunately, this culture has been glorified.

Ingredients 

We all want to live a happy, successful and peaceful life and everybody has their definition and vision of such life. Though, in order to make it we often forget to live in present and run behind different sort of validations. In the chase, we forget ourselves. It's often late when we realise what we have already missed in life. The key is to be in present. Nobody is stopping you to do the hard work, grill, focus but there need to be a balance between running behind and taking a pause.
