二 summary & thoughts
第六章的标题是 在生活中运用刻意练习原则
很多人都认为,只有少数一些人才能在特定的领域中获得成功,只有那些逻辑思维清晰和擅长数学的人才能进入数学领域;只有那些有运动细胞的人才能进入体育领域。这种想法,使得人们以此为借口,不去追求他们原本可能真正喜欢做、也许还很擅长的事情。
1.找位好的导师
导师可以做的最重要的事情是帮你创建心理表征,以便你能监测和纠正你自己的表现。
好的导师应当在行业或领域之中有所成就,好的导师应当在他所在的行业或领域的教育中具有一些技能和经验。
2.专注和投入至关重要
如果你在走神,或者很放松,甚至只为了好玩,你不可能会有进步。专注和投入至关重要,因此,制定明确的目标,把练习课程的时间缩得更短,是更加迅速的提升新的技能水平的最佳方式。
3.没有导师怎么办
也许在你有兴趣提高自己水平的那些领域之中你没有发现杰出人物,或者至少没有导师,不论什么原因,如果你遵循刻意练习的基本原则去练习,依然可以进步。
4.用三个 F 创建有效的心理表征
Focus(专注)、Feedback(反馈)、Fix it(修正)
将技能分解成一些组成部分,以便反复练习,并且有效地分析、确定你的不足之处,然后想出各种办法来解决它们。
