Weekly Photo Challenge : Foreshadow, for excellence !
fore·shad·ow (/fôrˈSHadō/); Verb – An indication of (a future event).

The diligence with which every artist prepares for the performance, days before and also at the backstage, foreshadows the brilliance on the stage.
Weekly Photo Challenge : Foreshadow, a set on Flickr.
Human being has infinite potential. The journey of life is all about realizing that infinite potential.
The celebration of the human spirit takes the heights when one goes about his journey with single-minded pursuit of excellence.
It is about understanding of self, creating a vision, laying out a plan and executing it with dedication, determination and discipline.
As Malcolm Gladwell shares in his book ‘Outliers’, the world-class elite performers in any arena have invested well over thirty hours, week after week – single-mindedly and purposefully – either playing their instruments or practicing their art or pursing their passion or researching their subject – which amounts to at least ten thousand hours of practice before they are called world-class.
And the result at the end of those two decades is nothing less than supreme command on the subject, placing the practitioner one among the stars of the arena.
This post is all about this journey of pains and challenges, that of exuberance and ecstasy.
Come and join this journey of celebrating the human spirit.
It works, particularly with the final photograph telling what the foreshadow led us to.
