Upright
Deliberate repetition is the answer here, not a new strategy.
Do the work at the standard you want to be known for.
Competence is built by ordinary hours rather than by insight.
Fixing the small errors is what changes the output.
Study the craft from someone who does it better.
Reversed
Effort is going in without attention to quality.
The repetition has become a way of avoiding improvement.
Busyness hides the absence of a standard.
Slow down enough to check your own work.
Ask for one piece of specific feedback and use it.
Original Chinese reading
Upright: 专注精进、勤勉、技艺打磨
Reversed: 敷衍、重复劳动、缺乏进步
