What's your 7? Do you want more? Is a 10 even possible? Sometimes you need to step down first to find that next step up.

Getting past a 7 is hard. It can take more effort to get past a 7 than it takes to reach a 7 in the first place. Some people would complain that it takes too long to get past a 7. But the truth is that the time is going to pass anyway. Even if it takes 5-10 years, you might as well get yourself to a higher level within that time, since the years are going to pass anyway.

Whenever I feel I’ve gotten stuck at a 7, I stop and ask myself: What would a 10 look like?

AdamC, quickest draw in the West.

I minored in Speed Popping at college.

I could have sworn you were just telling us that a 7 is good enough!

Damn, that's hilarious! That clip was a good motivator to get you up to what you thought was a 7. But, behold, Daniel-san:

If you think you’re at a 7, you’re really at a 3 maximum. The 10 is way, way out there. You think you can see it, but your definition of a 10 is based on your experience of a 7, and you can’t even see a real 10 when you’re standing at 7. It’s beyond your ability to fathom.

Wax-on, wax-off.

Hey, I knew some people like that at school, too!

Score one, Adam!

Yes!

Kore, does this mean you're going to lobby to have your username changed to Kore10?

Personally, I like to shoot for 11, then if I don't make it all the way, I can always fall back on a 10, or, if I'm taking it easy, a 9.

Great! The main thing is that you enjoy the ride.

LOL. AdamC, you are truly the Mr. Miyagi of smart-asses. I bow to you.
