Part II

The five elements that make the best of things

Everyone is born with the ability to learn for life, and it is this ability that has long been a unique individual. The skills mastered in a person's life are not determined by the genes, but acquired through acquisition.

Feature 1: Effective guidance

Find a good mentor, some skills can be self-taught, but for those more complex skills, it is best to be in a serious and responsible attitude, in the introductory stage to follow the guidance of teachers to learn. and self-study easily become arrogant, already for the well-to-do not know.

Before you learn something new, learn about the industry's relevant certifications or industry history, which can help you get started quickly. Believe in authority, but don't be fooled. The best teachers in guiding students, the time to encourage students to improve the correct performance should be the time to criticize the correction of student error is flat.

Hard work is far more important than talent, to be the best master, not to have a special talent, to interview some top athletes, to come to the conclusion that these top athletes have stressed the importance of hard training and practical experience, they think that far more than the role of talent. There are a lot of gifted, but not trained players, these people have slowly disappeared from the field, and those who are generally different from the normal efforts of the players, in the Grand Alliance on the field left a person's results.

When he spoke of his students ' qualifications, Shunryu Suzuki had proposed a theory about horses. The horse is divided into four categories: excellent, good, general, and inferior. A good horse can not wait for the rider to raise the whip, it will be able to speed up the rider's mind, slow down, turn left, turn right, better horse can do these, but to wait until the rider raised the whip to do these, the general horse a little, usually to wait for the whip to reflect the body to come over, A poor horse must wait until the keeled over is beaten to understand the rider's instructions and make the right moves. After everyone has heard, they want to be good, at least to achieve a better standard. But this view is not correct. Shunryu Suzuki said, if you learn too fast, you do not have the hard work, the lack of thoroughly tempered sharpening. The best horse in its view is the worst, and the poor horse is the best, as long as it can remember what he has learned every time he eats a whip.

Keep in mind that there is no end to the road to success. As Japan's kendo Master Hill Tiezhou said: "To study is to be complacent." The Tao of the teacher is endless.

Feature 2: Continuous Practice

Practice is not a simple repetition, for the Naxi pursuit of excellence, they should not just look at the practice as repeated over and over again, not to practice as a simple activity, but to the practice and self-integration, let it become a part of your life. This is the word that the Oriental civilization preaches. If you work hard, practice will make you. It can be said that the success of excellence is the way to practice paved. When you think of contact as a part of your daily life, you do not practice for the sake of gain, but just to practice itself. You can take this attitude to practice a sport, or learn a martial arts, you can also hold such a mentality to learn gardening, bridge, yoga, meditation and so on.

Those who know are inferior to those who are good, and those who are better than those who are happy. This is the secret of success, people who have fun do not feel that practice is a chore, they can be happy in practice, which attracts them to practice more diligently, so reciprocating, virtuous circle, gradually into the realm of excellence. In fact, the so-called Master is a day more than others practice 5 minutes. Practice Achievement Master.

Regular practice, especially in the absence of specific goals, is really not easy. But when habit is formed, practice is gradually integrated into life, he will be as natural as eating and sleeping. When you are new to training, you will forget the passage of time, everything is so harmonious, these experiences will accompany your life. Practice paved on the road of the master of Masonry, the farther you go on this road, the more you can enjoy the scenery along the way, the more you can appreciate the ups and downs, whether success or failure, climax or trough, all you experience will be filled with your memories, to create your life. So, on the road, you unknowingly in a certain area of success, become a successful person in the eyes. But at this time the so-called success in Your eyes is not as important as the beginning, what you focus on is not a lot of excellence, practice, practice, in practice.

Element 3: Keeping a beginner's mind

A true success is always a zero-starting mindset. Learn everything to "willing fools". Everything starts hard, the beginning of the time will always feel very difficult, and even learn more can not find the feeling, the more learning the more backward, then do not give up, do not blindly deny themselves, to listen to the teacher's teachings, empty mentality, from scratch. If you want to succeed, don't be afraid of the difficulty of starting. With this learning process is repeated over and over again, the more basic part repeats the more times. Perhaps some people think that Only fools think so, they refuse to return to zero. But all talented musicians are the ones who repeat the ordinary notes for thousands of times.

Boredom is due to the constant search for freshness and not. Don't complain that you need to do a little bit of stress. A careful experience of the greatness of the ordinary in order to achieve long-term satisfaction. Willing to give up, know how to change, at different stages of learning, at any time to maintain a zero mentality to meet the challenges of different stages, the more familiar things, the more difficult the challenge. Just as you have a glass of milk in your hand, you can't get the bottle on the table.

Always maintain peace of mind, think of yourself as a novice or perhaps the most important way to success, whether it is the pursuit of career success or family harmony, whether it is to learn to play badminton, or learning programming. True success will always keep the mindset of zero, in this quest on the way everyone is a beginner.

Feature 4: Confident

Daring to imagine the results of your own hope, before doing things to have fully confident calmly, in fact, I feel that he is talking about self-confidence, or a simulation of the future, for example, you want to write a website, you will in the brain preview the framework and concepts in advance. Schwarzenegger once said: "My secret is to train before, imagine a good vision, and then to fight for this vision, as I contacted the bodybuilding, more than once imagined myself to have the appearance of Mr. Universe."

Element 5: Beyond the Limit

Experience comes from thousands of actual battles, the higher the realm, the more we date to find something counterintuitive. Some of the best-known masters, they tend to be obsessed with the basic skills of the practice, the intention to polish those who are neglected details. At the same time, they continue to challenge the higher, faster and stronger limits, and to this end, they dare to pay the unimaginable price of ordinary people.

Learning is an endless journey, there is a proverb that says: Before the Enlightenment, firewood is the practice of water. After the Enlightenment, firewood is a practice.

Make sure you have been trained and well-informed before you make up your mind to challenge the limits of your actions. Then, go ahead and challenge the limit.
