2017年读过《刻意练习》中文版，英文版就随手翻了一下。书中讲了什么都快忘记，再次“临幸”它，希望通过摘录书中的经典句子或有益建议，以加深印象和为提高写作能力积累素材。
1.You wish to climb a mountain. You’re not sure how high you want to go-that peak looks an awfully long way off-but you know you want to get higher than you currently are. You could simply take off on whichever path looks promising and hope for the best, but you’re probably not going to get very far. Or you could rely on a guide who has been to the peak and knows the best way there. That will guarantee that no matter how high you decide to climb, you are doing it in the most efficient, effective way. That best way is deliberate practice, and this book is your guide. It will show you the path to the peak; how far you travel along that path is up to you.
中文：
假设你想去爬山，你不确定你想爬多高，山路看起来蜿蜒曲折，令人望而生畏，但你知道，你想比现在所处的位置爬得更高一些。你可以简单地选择一条看起来很有希望的路径，并期望是最好的，但你可能走不了很远。或者，你可以依靠一个曾登上过顶峰，了解最佳路线的向导，不论你决定自己要爬多高，这会保证你以最有效的方式登山。这种最佳的方法就是刻意练习，而本书（《刻意练习》）就是你的向导，本书将向你显示登上巅峰的路径，至于在那条路径上能走多远，则取决于你自己。
2.有目的的练习的四个特点
A.Purposeful practice has well-defined, specific goals.
--Purposeful practice is all about putting a bunch of baby steps together to reach a longer-term goal
B.Purposeful practice is focused.
--You seldom improve much without giving the task your full attention.
C.Purposeful practice involves feedback.
--No matter what you’re trying to do, you need feedback to identify exactly where and how you are falling short. Without feedback-either from yourself or from outside observers-you cannot figure out what you need to improve on or how close you are to achieving your goals.
D.Purposeful practice requires getting out of one’s comfort zone.
--If you never push yourself beyond your comfort zone, you will never improve.
--Getting out of your comfort zone means trying to do something that you couldn’t do before. Sometimes you may find it relatively easy to accomplish that new thing, and then you keep pushing on. But sometimes you run into something that stops you cold and it seems like you’ll never be able to do it. Finding ways around these barriers is one of the hidden keys to purposeful practice.
中文：
A.有目的的练习具有定义明确的特定目标
——有目的的练习，主要是“积小胜为大胜”“积硅步以至千里”，最终达到长期目标。
B.有目的的练习是专注的
——要想取得进步，必须完全把注意力集中在你的任务上。
C.有目的的练习包含反馈
——不论你在努力做什么事情，都需要反馈来准确辨别你在哪些方面还有不足，以及怎么会存在这些不足。如果没有反馈（要么是你自己给自己提出的，要么是局外人给你提出的），你不可能搞清楚你在哪些方面还需要提高，或者你现在离实现你的目标有多远。
D.有目的的练习需要走出舒适区
——如果你从来不迫使自己走出舒适区，便永远无法进步；
——走出舒适区，意味着要试着做一些你以前没做过的事情。有时候，你也许发现，做一些没做过的事情，相对较为容易，然后，你会继续逼迫自己。但有时候，你偶然碰到了那些让你感到很难做好的事情，似乎你永远也做不了。想办法去逾越这些障碍，是通向有目的的练习的隐藏钥匙。
