A way to excellence

吴楠对学习之道（第2版）的书评发表时间：2012-10-06 22:10:02

First of all, this guy, Josh Waitzkin, is a natural on chess and many other things. By any definition, it is a GIFT to learn by simply staring at it. It is also true that however magnificent one’s natural gift is, to achieve a profound level of understanding and to transfer the knowledge to other domains, require much more than gift. In fact, if one’s mentality associates success with natural gift, he will very likely to stop growth whenever his learning reaches difficulty, which is inevitable. On the contrary, if one embraces an ‘incremental’ mentality, he will see every success, and more importantly, every failure, is a way to manifest how hard he has worked and where is the weakness. Therefore, through reflection, one can operate at a higher level, which leads to continuous growth.

During the learning process, failures, rather than success are the definitive moments for growth. Great ones are willing to get burned and invest in their losses. Sure, failure is bitter and unbearable, one might need weeks or even month before one can examine the failure in detail and spot the technical or psychological weakness exposed.

Emotions, such as anger, fear, happiness, are part of equation and make a huge difference when one is performing under pressure. We make peace with our emotions, observe them, ‘learn how to let them float away if they are rocking our boat, and how to use them when they are fueling our creativity. ‘In the end funnels every emotion into focus. Next, we discover that emotional states usually trigger our greatest performances.

The Key part of learning is to incorporate the healthy rhythm into all aspects of life, so that they are completely natural to you when the pressure is on. Especially, in the absence of continual external reinforcement, we must be our own monitor. ‘If we have any hope of attaining excellence, let alone of showing what we've got under pressure, we have to be prepared by a lifestyle of reinforcement. Presence must be like breathing.’

The healthy pattern can be working for 25mins then stop, can be running to push you to the limit then rest, then repeat. The healthy pattern can be high concentration on everything you do, especially under adverse situations.

Finally, if I learn anything from the book, it can be summed up in three phrases, namely, incremental mentality, focus, healthy rhythm.

首先，这个家伙，乔希Waitzkin，是一种天然的象棋和许多其他的事情。无论如何，它是通过简单地盯着那学到的礼物。这也是真实的，然而壮观的一个自然的馈赠，以达到理解深刻的水平和知识转移到其他领域，需要更多的礼物。事实上，如果一个人的心态将成功与天赋，他将停止生长时，他学习很有可能达到的困难，这是不可避免的。相反，如果一个拥抱“增量”的心态，他会看到每一次成功，更重要的是，每一次的失败，是一种体现他如何努力工作和弱点在哪里。因此，通过反思，一个人可以在一个更高的水平，从而导致持续增长。

在学习过程中，失败，而不是成功对增长的决定性的时刻。伟大的是愿意被烧毁，投资损失。当然，失败是痛苦不堪，一个可能在你能详细检查和现场技术或心理弱点暴露的失败需要数周或数月。

的情绪，如愤怒，恐惧，快乐，是方程和作出了巨大的差异，当一个人执行的压力下。我们使我们的情绪，和平观察他们，学习如何让它们漂走如果他们摇动我们的船，以及如何使用它们时，他们正在给我们的创造力。“最后把每一种情绪成为关注的焦点。接下来，我们发现情绪状态通常引发我们最伟大的表演。

学习的关键部分是将健康的节奏融入到生活的各个方面，使他们完全是自然给你当压力在。特别是，在连续的外部加固的缺席，我们必须自己监控。“如果我们有达到卓越的希望，更显示出我们的压力下，我们要通过强化生活方式的制备。存在必须像呼吸。”

健康模式可以工作了25分钟后停止，可以跑去把你推至极限，然后休息，然后重复。健康模式可以高浓度对你所做的一切，特别是在不利的情况下。

最后，如果我从书中学到的东西，它可以概括为三个阶段，即，增量的心态，集中，健康的节奏。
