篇章
Part I: Getting past Plateau——what is the plateau?How ?
1: Plateau:
①字典释义:a period during which the level of something does not change, especially after a period when it was increasing:
②文章意指: a point that you reach at which you are having difficulty getting better
2:How:
①Figure out exactly what is holding you back and what mistakes are you making
② Push yourself well outside of your comfort zone and see what breaks down first.
③Design a practice technique aimed at improving that particular weakness
Part II: Maintaining motivation ——What is motivation exactly?Why need maintain?How to maintain ?
What :
①想要在自己从事领域做到更好的抱负(a desire to be better at whatever it is you are practicing)
②专业使你优秀,你所从事的职业及其习得技能的本身也是一种推动力(the skill itself )
③ 他人的赞美,自己取得的成就,以及社会环境因素的影响-志同道合者之间的交流(social motivation)
Why :
①内因:训练的本身是枯燥的过程是艰难的,不竭的动力才能帮你走到最后(Deliberate Practice is hard work and hard to keep going)
②外因:外界诱惑层出不穷,孟母三迁是有其合理性的(Maintain motivation can help you strengthen the reasons to keep going and weaken the reasons to give up halfway.)
How:
① 苦中作乐-将过程视为习惯的培养成长的责任(identify that period as their practice time created a sense of habit and duty)
② 抵制诱惑,对于回避干扰因素的事物(look for anything that might interfere with your training and find ways to minimize its influence.)
③目标可视化,拆分为阶段可操的,并将效果积极反馈自己(set things into a manageable series of goals and focus on them one at a time,give yourself a small reward each time you reach a goal.)
④相信自己会成功,功不唐捐(hold a belief that you can succeed)

Rethought
1: ... set things up so that you are constantly seeing concrete signs of improvement, even if it is not always major improvement. Break your long journey into a manageable series of goals and focus on them one at a time—perhaps even giving yourself a small reward each time you reach a goal.
觉得这是很适用的方法论。切分目标,细化可视化。就拿读书来说,自己以前每次年初都是立杆的好时机,年末都是想抱头重新开始,2017元旦,就明确给每个月列出了四本书单,文学类,社会学类,政治经济类各方便都涉及一点,每月在根据时间看80%,再细分到一本书每天看多少一周能看完一本,不断细分下,自己平均下来每月就看了2-3本书。虽然现在觉得有的读的是假书,但是觉得这样不断拆分细化的方法很有助于自己实现自己最终目标,step by step 可操作性强。
2: .... a belief that you can succeed. ···The power of such belief is so strong that it can even trump reality.
想起本杰明·富兰克林一句名言:一个人失败的最大原因,就是对自己能力永远不敢充分信任,甚至自己认为自己必将谁败无疑(没找到原话)。 俗话说“你自己都不相信自己谁会相信你”“有些事情相信着相信着就成真了”,当然也不是盲目的相信,自己选一个比较喜欢的方向,一个能力能够蹦到的高度,一个比较有发展前途的行业,加上正确的方法,相信自己一定会成功,坚持走下去,我相信每个人都会获得自己的成功。行不由径,功不唐捐。
