You never really feel like you master it, but that’s not really the point.

The point is to get intimate with it, to never stop learning, and to accept its vastness. Let it swallow you up, and be thankful for what you do know about it while you’re constantly learning more.

In short, enjoy it rather than trying to conquer it, and with that approach you may one day become a master.
