If there are innate nature, inherent abilities and skills in the employee and if he uses them to be there, then his presence at the milestone is from the subjective side or employee side. Unless these skills are improved and threshold limits are raised from the side of performer, optimum performance is not really possible. This is related to performance at work or profession.
