Yea, consistency is the key. Consistency as you said differentiate the "Good" from the "Best" and this applies in every aspect of life.
Although i'll be going out of context to say this but i'll still love to share.
I'm a lover of football and I've been watching football for over a decade now. I've observed that for almost a decade now, only two players (Lionel Messi and Christiano Ronaldo) have been dominating the entire football hierarchy in terms of Laurels, any lover of footbal could attest to this fact. The reason for this is because of "Consistency", other great players have emerged but they've not been as consistent as those two football veterans.
I've really gained alot from your post and I really want to commend you for your great effort to always publicise your views to us all.
Thank You @coruscate
