My advice - as pedantic as it may sound - is simple: AVOID COMPLACENCY. NEVER ASSUME THAT YOU KNOW IT ALL. When it comes to the Real Work, we never stop learning. Look at cardmen like Vernon and Marlo! Both continue to explore the subject, look for flaws, seek perfections, discover new things. Lectures, books, notes, and sessions with our brethren are invaluable aids; however, we must never forget that learning the Real Work is an exciting, life-long pursuit; a challenge that obstinately renews itself no matter how old, experienced, and knowledgeable we become.
