On a whim, I signed up for an interpretation class. One of the teachers was about 30 years old. She was very beautiful and dressed in fashion. Later, she learned that she majored in history in college, her day job is a company public relations manager, her son is 5 years old, she has to go to work every day, do housework, take care of the child. Different from us, she holds the second-level interpretation certificate of the Human Resource Department, has the task of translating meetings all over the country every month, and also serves as the tutor of this interpretation center. Opened her blog, has been updated more than 500 pages, there are more than 2000 posts, all are her own interpretation practice every day, an average of two long and a short every day, she has been doing this thing for nearly 10 years, as a non-professional, she has been working hard because of her love of English. I admired her. She said that 10 years ago, she had read a survey report that it takes 10,000 hours of uninterrupted practice for a person to master a skill and become an expert. She calculated that if you practiced five hours a day, 300 days a year, it would take seven years for a person to master the skill. 'Luckily, I knew what skills I wanted to master,' she says. 'I just had to jump right in and do it. I didn't have five hours. Liu Liu also mentioned this theory in her Weibo post, saying that she only became a writer after seven years of hard work, that the Beatles had played 1,200 concerts before they became famous, and that Bill Gates had worked as a programmer for seven years before he became rich. But why do you work as a civil servant for 10 years and still remain a minor clerk? Why do you not become a master chef after cooking at home for 7 years, but find that your marriage is itching for 7 years? That's because you don't put the energy and enthusiasm into practicing a skill. I just read the newspaper and surf the Internet every day to deal with all kinds of trivial tasks, do what everyone is doing, cook every day just to keep the family running, and do not look at it with a professional perspective. Don't lament the loss of your major after college. If you start from junior high school, you only have 7,200 hours of schooling for 12 years, even if you study a skill for 2 hours a day, 300 days a year, and that's 2800 hours short, even if you practice for 1 hour a day after graduation, you need 10 years. Why are people in science and engineering more likely to succeed? As long as their major is right after graduation, or do that little thing, then they are equivalent to a day 8 hours of practice, these 2800 hours, only need more than one year to fill. But many of us, the content of work is not in the practice of skills, most of the trivial people and things, in fact, is abandoned. Maybe you will say, I am an ordinary person, I don't want to be someone, just want to live peacefully. It's just your illusion. Time is passing, and the actions you repeat and repeat every day are shaping you. You don't want to be something, but you are destined to be something. If you spend 5 hours a day watching Korean dramas, web pages, chatting, then after 7 years, you will become a spectator of life. What you are good at is to talk about the success and failure of others without finding anything to say about yourself. Take a minute to think about what you wanted to do most, and then do it every day for 7 years. You will find that you can go out and eat on it. Even if you love shopping, do you make it a rule to shop for 3 hours a day? Maybe at first you feel very happy, every day, you will find boring, keep going, you start to think, what else can I find, what else can I do? Keep it up and in 7 years you might be a fashionista, image designer, street photographer, clothing buyer... What are you going to do with the next seven years, the next 10,000 hours of your life?
