The most important thing about a marathon is running.

So far, how many times have you said to yourself, "Alas, I don't have the talent, or are you going to forget it"?

This sentence is often used as a pause that declares a complete failure of a certain endeavor, and is often used to close a door and continue to walk away from the old road, which does not have to accept too much frustration, but does not see new landscapes. Is talent so important? Do you overestimate the influence of talent?

I visited a cellist who was a four-year-old who was called a musical prodigy, and he grew up to have a fairly accomplished musician in music, denying he was a genius from the start. He says the question he has been asked about in his visit to the United States is: how much talent does he have in his success? "I don't think it's 20%. However, this 20%, I was forced to learn from my childhood, not let me go out to play the mother, probably contributed more than 15%! ”

Talent does vary from person to person, but we often overestimate its influence. Think back to think I once said "no talent, or forget it" words, really a lot. Frankly speaking, mostly because I am lazy, do not want to continue, so often do not learn enough to prove that they have the talent, I quietly hit the retreat.

I had been waiting with a gardener in a sunny office, pointing to a nearly lifeless bonsai and saying, "The last time I came here, the bamboo was still alive, and now it's like this." Taking care of plants is connected with learning everything. If you take the time to look after it every day, it will grow well, and if you neglect it for a few days, it may appear mistreated. The more you look at it, the more you feel sorry for it, the more sorry it is, the more I don't want to see it. Soon, it was die. ”

How many things can change our direction of life or add to the joy of life, because this "more wasted more fear" reason die? If I had listened to him, I would have been enlightened. Not only learn things so, love is the same. The more he neglects him, the more he fears to see him, and the more I forgive him, the more I will be sorry to him.

A lot of people like me have a tendency to go out of the way. Not want to work hard, just don't last. Sometimes it is just beginning to overwork, and soon the elasticity is tired. Or at the beginning of the time is quite interesting, after encountering a little difficulty, told himself "I have no talent, forget it", and then notwith two days.

Take a college time to repair Japanese, just at the beginning of my efforts than any students, in addition to classes, but also to cram schools, but also bought a variety of various textbooks. My roommate gets up every morning and reads for half an hour, I swear to be more desperate than her, 1.5 hours more than her, this will always be better than her!

Only, she that "half an hour a day" lasted four years, until she was admitted to Japan to study abroad has not stopped, I that two hours a day of hard work, constantly be "outing, barbecue, love and doze" interrupted, not one months on the apprenticeship not to die first, Japanese test to cram clearance.

After several times to work hard, and even every day with a Japanese reader, but also in the only effort can not "unremitting" situation with the wind and died, and then told himself: "Forget it, I think I did not learn Japanese talent." "Now, I am still at the level of a freshman Japanese." "Forget it." The higher the frequency, the more likely we are to accomplish nothing.

Michael Hau Michael J.a.howe, a British psychology professor, specializes in prodigy and genius, and he concludes that it is interesting to note that genius is a natural, fluid, and non-obstructed shining talent, in fact, genius also needs to spend at least 10 years to learn their special skills, no exception. To become an expert, you need to have a stubborn personality and the ability to persist. Each line of professionals, are betting a lot of painstaking efforts to develop their professional talent.

A person has the talent of writing, but also relies on training and experience to grasp the tips of literary skills. All successful writers are readers for life, and most of them develop their habits when they are young and put their ideas into words. Many outstanding writers have tried to write a book as long as their childhood is not over.

The psychologist also counted, for example, to learn the piano, if you want to become a good amateur pianist, at least need to focus on 3,000 hours of training, if you want to achieve professional standards, 10,000 hours is not able to run. Like chess, a variety of sports and foreign languages, you want to become professional time is similar.

From this point of view, the small setbacks in our study are not due to lack of talent, but because there is no "sustained contribution". So far, I have spent more than 10,000 hours, probably only writing it?

Not only the study, the general girl's favorite weight loss is also "do not need to work, as long as unremitting." People who are crazy about losing weight always fail. According to statistics, take the rapid weight loss method or dieting to lose weight, in the two months to stop weight loss of more than 90%, while the side effects of the 70%.

A fitness instructor also advises me: "Exercise does not require effort, as long as it lasts, you can be thin!" I am most afraid of those who have just started like three Lang, their vitality will always be exhausted in a short period of time! ”

Don't try so hard, as long as it lasts, now I always tell myself. Want to have a lifetime of expertise or interest, as in running a person's marathon, the most important thing is to run, and not just start to run how fast!
