There are always special cattle people in life, let us admire and praise, envy. From the knife-wielding chef in the video, to the beautiful text written by the children of other people next door, to the best in sports, painting, music and other professional fields.
Envy them for their talent, their talent, and lament their mediocrity. Thinking that the success of others is talented and innately superior, no matter how hard they try, they will not have great achievements.
In fact, in the book "Deliberate Practice", the author conveys an affirmative point to ordinary people: if you know how to practice deliberately and practice and insist on it, you can also become an outstanding person.
The two authors of Deliberate Practice, Anderson Erickson, is a professor of psychology at The State University of Furrida and a Distinguished Scholar of Conradi; Dr. Robert Poole is a renowned scientist, technical and medical writer who has authored hundreds of important academic books and reports.
"Deliberate Practice" explains that all geniuses have actually undergone a certain systematic training the day after tomorrow, and each of us has an innate talent.
As long as we find our own "talents" and continue to work and practice in the right way, we can become outstanding people in the field.
The cook in the video who is a knife worker, you know he cut a few sacks of potatoes behind his back, and other people's children may practice a page of calligraphy every day.
Not to mention sports stars, the intensity of practice is unimaginable to ordinary people.
The biopic Wrestleman, directed by Natesh Tivary and starring Amir Khan, Sakashi Tewa, Sanya Mahota, Fatima Sana Shakar! In "Daddy", the wrestling growth path of the two daughters is rolled out in continuous and repeated deliberate practice.
Based on the true story of Indian wrestler Mahavira Singh Perga, the film tells the story of former wrestling champion Singh who trained his two daughters to become women's wrestling champions, breaking Indian traditions.
The two girls in the story, who were woken up before dawn to run, did wrestling practice in their own fields without wrestling, replaced them with quilts without wrestling mats, tried to eliminate all kinds of difficulties, never interrupted practice, and finally achieved great success.
Winning the championship glory, although many factors coincide with it, the most fundamental thing is their unremitting persistence and continuous practice and improvement.
No matter what skill you learn, there is no shortcut, you must start from learning the basic skills of this skill, and train solidly and perseveringly. As long as there is perseverance, perseverance, down-to-earth, and excellence, you can reach the peak of brilliance.
In the fable story of "Ji Chang Learns to Shoot", the studious Ji Chang finally became a master archery after unremitting efforts under the guidance of the famous teacher Fei Wei.
Ji Changshan practiced the skill of not blinking, and deliberately practiced for two years, staring at his wife's weaving shuttle every day, until the needle was close to the eye without blinking. In order to be able to see the tiny object, Ji Chang tied a lice from the hair of the yak's tail and hung it on the window, facing south and looking at it from a distance, staring at it for three years.
This parable also expresses hard work, perseverance, perseverance, and finally realizing one's dreams. This is the wisdom of the ancients, the crystallization of the test.
Reading this, we know the power of deliberate practice, stop blindly envying the success of others, and can also achieve our goals through "deliberate practice".
So how do we use "deliberate practice" to help us become great people? The book "Deliberate Practice" portrays 6 distinctive characteristics of "deliberate practice", and we can find the answers from them.
First, have clear and specific goals. It is necessary to find the goal and determine the direction of the effort. Only when the goal is clear and the direction is correct, can we achieve the place of dreams.
Second, there are specific training methods. Deliberate practice development is a skill, to find a scientific and reasonable training method, in order to do more with less, successfully achieve the goal.
Third, there is a focused state of practice. To achieve success in a certain field, you must concentrate on learning and research. Focus and dedication shorten the distance to achieving your goals.
Fourth, the exercise contains feedback. We can't just bury our heads in hard practice, but also look up at the results of the exercise, the feedback of the instructor, and adjust the way of practice and the direction of effort. Otherwise you are deviating from the direction without knowing it.
Fifth, you need to get out of your comfort zone. For the practice of new skills, it is difficult to improve yourself if you can't get out of your comfort zone. Although it is difficult to start, we must stick to it, after a period of time, we will encounter bottlenecks, and we must find various ways to solve breakthroughs. Only by repeatedly adjusting and correcting, and not being afraid of hardships or difficulties, can we continuously improve our ability.
Sixth, use psychological representations. What is a mental representation is to refer to a thing, a series of mental activities carried out by our psychology. Through deliberate practice, mental representations are formed and self-improvement is improved.
Let me give you an example of my son's calligraphy initiation teacher. How she went from ordinary to outstanding.
First of all, she made sure that she liked calligraphy and decided that she wanted to be a calligraphy teacher. The second step is to find a famous teacher for yourself, start to study and train on the ground, and practice according to the requirements of the teacher every day.
The third step is to let yourself enter a state of concentration and self-forgetfulness, integrate into the world of calligraphy, and feel the charm of calligraphy. The fourth step is to communicate with the teacher at any time, get the teacher's feedback and guidance, and constantly correct.
The fifth step is to step out of the comfort zone, no matter the cold and heat, go to the school to do calligraphy classes, regardless of pay, tireless labor. The so-called teaching is mutually beneficial, and the progress is extremely fast. The sixth step is clearer and clearer, she sees the space for the long-term development of calligraphy, and has a clear plan for the future.
At present, she has become an excellent calligraphy teacher, producing her own teaching materials and having her own brand.
Isn't it very cattle, she is close to forty years old to get up, can you believe it? That's true.
Well, now we know the "deliberate practice" and witness its magic. According to its six characteristics, there should be a rough outline of how to carry out "deliberate practice" in the mind.
To review, deliberate practice requires clear goals, specific training methods, focused states, attention to feedback, but also to push yourself out of the comfort zone, the use of psychological representations to obtain comprehensive results.
Finally, we see the bridge to the "Outstanding People Zone", which is called "deliberate practice", through which we can reach the place of our dreams.
And, the steps across it are also introduced in detail, are you willing to try to practice?
After all, on paper, I finally realized that I had to do something about it.
What do you think? Let's get started.
