This is the first part in a series of “masters” of their craft. In this first series, I’ve chosen Danny MacAskill, a bike trials master. His video below has exploded on YouTube and gain him popularity. Bike trials is a form of moutain biking in which the rider negotiates man made and natural obstacles without touching his feet to the ground.
Watch the video below. Danny is impressive because he’s a master at his craft. The time, discipline, and pain needed to reach the level of mastery is awe inspiring. From this, we can learn that with hard effort, dedication, and intense focus, we too, can be masters of our craft.
Daniel has written 66 articles. Daniel Hoang is a Manager at IntelliBridge Partners, a cutting edge management consulting firm in performance based management, financial management, information management, health care, and transportion.

A short report, presentation, letter, memo, or document is often many times as hard to write than its long counterpart. Anyone can write a 20 page report, it takes talent to condense all that information in to a one page briefing. So why do you see such poorly written documents both online and offline? The amount [...] […]
People often ask me how I know so much about computers and how I get all these things done so fast. Webcomic xkcd just figured out my trick and made a flow chart. I rarely know all the shortcuts or where the buttons are in an application, it’s a matter of poking around and just [...] […]
