4 hours a day for 6 days a week, you will still need 8 years to get 10,000 hours. So answering this question is essential. If you need to invest such a huge amount of time, you’d better do it right. You’d better find your niche. 這個問題很重要,因?yàn)橐蝗f個小時是很長的一段時間。如果你每天練習(xí)4小時,每周練習(xí)6天,那么你需要8年的時間才能達(dá)到一萬個小時的練習(xí)量。所以回答“要把一萬個小時花在哪”的這個問題就變得非常有必要了。你要付出這么多的時間,你就必須選好方向,選擇最合適的方向。 To find your niche, I find the three questions below helpful. Answer them and you will have an idea of where you should go. Here they are: 為了能找到最合適的方向,我提出了下面的三個問題,如果能回答出來這些問題,你就能找到你的方向了。問題如下: 1. Where have you invested your time? 你過去都把時間花在了哪里? One way to know where to invest your time is simply to look at where you have invested your time. For example, in the last few years you might have learned how to play music for one or two hours a day. Or you might have blogged about a certain topic. Or you might have spent a lot of time on gardening. 要想知道該在哪個方面花時間的最簡單的辦法就是回頭看看自己已經(jīng)在哪個領(lǐng)域花了時間。比如說,在過去的幾年里,你每天都會花一兩個小時來演奏音樂,或者在某個問題上持續(xù)地發(fā)表文章,又或者在園藝上花費(fèi)了大量的時間。 Those are good signs of where you should invest your 10,000 hours. You already invest part of that 10,000 hours so you only need to invest the rest. The difference is now you do it consciously and deliberately. You will be more effective that way. 這些都能很好地說明你應(yīng)該在哪些方面來利用這一萬個小時的時間。你已經(jīng)花了一部分時間了,那么你只需要把一萬個小時中剩下的那部分時間花上去就可以了。區(qū)別在于現(xiàn)在你是有意識地、特意地把時間用在某個領(lǐng)域上,而收效也會更好。 2. What are your passions? 你最感興趣的是什么? In fact, that’s one reason why 10,000 hours is a magic number to bee a worldclass expert: almost everyone else fails before reachi
