Beginner's mind

 Zen Buddhism teaches that the mind of a masterfully skilled person is like beginner's mind, but it does not mean unexperienced student but instead the fascinated first glimpse of something, a glimpse full of life and perceptilns about many things like colours, smells, areas of lufe, ways of doing, meaningful done things and objects in the environment, movement, feelings, atmospheres, things in one's picture of the world, etc. So one observes a lot and is well along even if it lasts half a minute and not jyst a few seconds. So it is much better for quality than bored repetitive lobg lasting work like slam-slam-slam making sand cakes of moist sant by pressing a cover upon it, or some artifact or artifact part in a similar way. So in long term labour too it matters that one would be interested and enjoy such areas of life - so often pleasant work is found somewhat aside from one's education but not so far that one would need to study boredly again, more like weekend hobbies get support from lne's education in perception ability being keener, thinking being easy, egc. So that way one could find a better quality work around one's hobby like interests, kind of being motivated toward such life with a full capacity.
