Accuracy and Precision
A goal must always carry two things for it to be obtained - it must have accuracy as well as precision. It has to be to the point, as well as constantly so. To obtain full respect, honor, and to be fully noticed - you cannot run a race by winning only once, and never win another. Or to continually lose and never learn from you mistakes.You must learn how to subdue and to discern these two fields, these tools of comprehension.
Let us take Science for example. To receive data, you must have relevant information that is both precise and accurate. Data that does not have these two aspects will be looked upon as false, or as waste--unused. It has to have an answer, as well as to perpetually remain the answer. The same as how a world turns in cycles, or as how a sun burns and gives off light. It is intact and complete.
Accuracy and precision is like the compass. The needle that has the direction as well as the constant provider of direction, a north and a south pole. The same as it is with the Master and the Apprentice. The Apprentice is the direction, the Master is the constant. The focus of an apprentice is to be accurate, to follow things the rightful and truthful way, while the focus of the master is to be precise...and to constantly maintain what is expected of his or herself. This is the way of the Jedi.
The same as a master has once existed as an apprentice, accuracy must be obtained before precision. Accuracy comes first, precision second. To have an answer is what is prime, to maintain an answer is what is absolute. It is an undivided bond, as with deity and man, man and woman. So it must be for a master and an apprentice. Our destines must keep accuracy and precision, just as our lives live...and keep living. It is the graceful quality of life. It is The Force.
