刻意练习 Chapter 5 上

作者说每个人都可以通过训练提升技能，但是需要使用正确的方法，而不是光凭try harder就可以的。如果练习了很久，还是没有提高，要反思一下是否是方法不正确。想要提高，找到正确方法也很关键。

The deliberate-practice mindset offers a very different view: anyone can improve, but it requires the right approach. If you are not improving, it’s not because you lack innate talent; it’s because you’re not practicing the right way. Once you understand this, improvement becomes a matter of figuring out what the “right way” is. 

当一件事情做完后一定要寻求反馈，总结，并且通过他人的反馈调整方法，策略。

Learning while real work gets done.
