Just be willing to use your brain, it's not simple repetition (embracing repetition, discovering regularity, discovering value, 10,000-hour basis)

With the 88 post-Discussion (iii):

If you use your brain, it's not a simple repetition.

Perseverance is repetition. With your own mind, on the basis of repetition, to form a valuable accumulation, for their own future lay the foundation.

I remember the early 80, there is a college entrance exam composition, is a figure, a person to dig a well to find water, dug a lot of pits on the ground, the depth of different, some places are about to dig water, but because he tasted, not at any point on the real long-term digging down, the result is he did not find any water.

Until now, this picture has left a deep impression on me, because with the growth of life experience, I gradually realized that the truth: any great thing is a very trivial, little bit of things composed. to get things done, we have to form enough pressure in one place, what we lack is not planning, not ideas, we need to persevere in doing a very deep.

What is perseverance? In short, it is repetition. There is a book called "Mutation", I suggest not to read all buy a look. The book, "The 10,000-hour law," he analyzed a lot of famous successful people, found that both Bill Gates, or golf Ted Woods, to become a high-hand master, in a field to become an outstanding expert, 10,000 hours is the most basic input. I find that the same is true of programming. to be a qualified programmer, write a code of 100,000 to 150,000 lines or more. If you don't even have this level of code, you won't be able to write the program yet. in school you write thousands of lines of code in the course design, 10,000 lines of code of graduation design, this is nothing.

Athletes, let alone. Whether you are learning Taekwondo or playing tennis, there are a lot of moves that need to be repeated, perhaps hundreds of times a day. Some young colleagues complained that the work was repetitive and uninteresting. I personally think that if you think this repetition is unnecessary, it is simple repetition, then you should try to optimize it. Now many computer software design is to solve the problem of duplication of labor. But if this repetition is necessary, such as having to repeat a game like playing to find intuition, then you have to think about how to use your mind to form a valuable accumulation on the basis of this necessary repetition, and lay the foundation for your future. Martial Arts book said big heroism sinking hara, punch out a fist, potential heavy sink, very strong. But if you have not practiced well horse, do you think it is useful to remember these formulas? It's still no use. New insights, new discoveries, are all in constant repetition.

Weibo spread a story, said that the 1948 Liaohsi, Lin Biao every night to report daily military intelligence, in fact, are repeating a pile of dry data: how much each troop annihilate, how many captives, seized artillery, the number of vehicles, guns, materials, and statistics of machine guns, spears, pistols, The wreck and seizure of the still-used cars also have to be sized and classified. This kind of work is tedious, tiring, and does not show any value. However, in October 1948, Lin Biao found a seizure of the length of the gun ratio, the proportion of large cars, the proportion of officers and soldiers slightly unusual, from these subtle changes in the number he judged the commander of the Foreign Army Army Command post is nearby.

In the past, I have also recommended an article on Weibo, called "My assistant resigned", I believe many of you have seen. It said that there was an assistant to help the general manager to affix the bill. In most people's view, this work is cumbersome, repetitive, and meaningless. But the assistant built a form to record all the reimbursement data according to time, amount, place of consumption, etc. After a long time, she found that the law behind the business activities, the general manager did not account for the work can be handled very well. In fact, her attitude towards repetition and the way it was developed on that basis made her work no longer confined to the assistant job of note-making, and she actually expanded her career.

China has a saying: Qinnengbuzhuo is good training. There is a repetition of attitude and repetition in the "diligence" process. when I started my early business, I did a lot of repetitive things, and sometimes I got bored, backed up and wanted to quit. For example, when I was young, I want to develop agents, a day to run two or three cities, with each client repeat the agency policy, why do agents, finally tired almost collapsed, words are not out. I do not want to do, but I read a book, is China's richest man after the "very marketing." There is a paragraph in the book, precisely written to him in the country to visit thousands of dealers and agents, over and over again to repeat the words, over and over again impress each dealer and agents. After I had finished, I said nothing, then ran down to the next city.

I am a sedentary person, but I can sit in the programming, than anyone else. at most, they have to go out for two or three hours and smoke a cigarette. But I sat there, except for some food and a little water, which could be 10 hours motionless. when programming, if someone is playing a game, watching a movie, others will be tempted to sneak a glance. But I can do it completely ignored. There are a lot of things that you can do if you stick to it. Many people only see the success of others, but did not see him for the accumulation of success. There is a seven steamed bread metaphor is appropriate, you eat the seventh steamed bread after finally eat full. Others began to study, you eat the seventh steamed bread is made of what flour? Why did you eat this steamed bun and fill it? They did not see you in front also ate six steamed bread, these six steamed bread is I mentioned earlier "10,000 hours" accumulation.

The classic of this management is called "from Excellence to Excellence", and a very interesting metaphor is mentioned in the book. businesses are like a huge flywheel, especially heavy. Each of us to push, for a second, the flywheel motionless. But everyone insisted that biting the teeth do not give up. Suddenly one day, the energy accumulated to a certain amount, the flywheel slowly moved up. Once the flywheel moves, it has the potential energy, and then everyone pushes it, it will move faster. We do not feel that every day do things very boring, the company has countless trivial things every day, I also often have to open a long meeting, to talk with a lot of people, every day to speak the words repeated over and over again.

Don't be afraid to repeat, I like everyone, are 360 push the wheel of people.
