2) skill or knowledge that makes one master of a subject
IQ: a number used to express the apparent relative intelligence of a person
Perspective: the interrelation in which a subject or its parts are mentally viewed
Many people believe that in order to become a master at something or reach mastery then that person needs to have natural talent. I can assure you that that is not true. For a person to reach mastery they can't just practice what they know, they have to continuously work on their weaknesses. This is important for college students to know because no one is born with natural talent, and anyone can achieve mastery at whatever it is that you want as long as you deliberately practice at it.
IQ and perspective play a role in defining mastery. IQ may just be a number that tells you how smart you are, but it is important to know that your IQ doesn't limit your ability to master something. this is where perspective comes into play, because you can think you aren't smart enough to master something, or you can look at it the other way and work really hard towards something, and once you have you can experience the joy that comes with reaching your goal.
