篇章
Part I： Getting past Plateau——what is the plateau？How ?
1: Plateau:
①字典释义：a period during which the level of something does not change, especially after a period when it was increasing:
②文章意指： a point that you reach at which you are having difficulty getting better
2:How:
①Figure out exactly what is holding you back and what mistakes are you making
② Push yourself well outside of your comfort zone and see what breaks down first.
③Design a practice technique aimed at improving that particular weakness
Part II: Maintaining motivation ——What is motivation exactly？Why need maintain？How to maintain ？
What :
①想要在自己从事领域做到更好的抱负（a desire to be better at whatever it is you are practicing）
②专业使你优秀，你所从事的职业及其习得技能的本身也是一种推动力（the skill itself ）
③ 他人的赞美，自己取得的成就，以及社会环境因素的影响-志同道合者之间的交流（social motivation）
Why ：
①内因：训练的本身是枯燥的过程是艰难的，不竭的动力才能帮你走到最后（Deliberate Practice is hard work and hard to keep going）
②外因：外界诱惑层出不穷，孟母三迁是有其合理性的（Maintain motivation can help you strengthen the reasons to keep going and weaken the reasons to give up halfway.）
How：
① 苦中作乐-将过程视为习惯的培养成长的责任（identify that period as their practice time created a sense of habit and duty）
② 抵制诱惑，对于回避干扰因素的事物（look for anything that might interfere with your training and find ways to minimize its influence.）
③目标可视化，拆分为阶段可操的，并将效果积极反馈自己（set things into a manageable series of goals and focus on them one at a time，give yourself a small reward each time you reach a goal.）
④相信自己会成功，功不唐捐（hold a belief that you can succeed）

Rethought
1: ... set things up so that you are constantly seeing concrete signs of improvement, even if it is not always major improvement. Break your long journey into a manageable series of goals and focus on them one at a time—perhaps even giving yourself a small reward each time you reach a goal.
觉得这是很适用的方法论。切分目标，细化可视化。就拿读书来说，自己以前每次年初都是立杆的好时机，年末都是想抱头重新开始，2017元旦，就明确给每个月列出了四本书单，文学类，社会学类，政治经济类各方便都涉及一点，每月在根据时间看80%，再细分到一本书每天看多少一周能看完一本，不断细分下，自己平均下来每月就看了2-3本书。虽然现在觉得有的读的是假书，但是觉得这样不断拆分细化的方法很有助于自己实现自己最终目标，step by step 可操作性强。
2: .... a belief that you can succeed. ···The power of such belief is so strong that it can even trump reality.
想起本杰明·富兰克林一句名言：一个人失败的最大原因，就是对自己能力永远不敢充分信任，甚至自己认为自己必将谁败无疑(没找到原话)。 俗话说“你自己都不相信自己谁会相信你”“有些事情相信着相信着就成真了”，当然也不是盲目的相信，自己选一个比较喜欢的方向，一个能力能够蹦到的高度，一个比较有发展前途的行业，加上正确的方法，相信自己一定会成功，坚持走下去，我相信每个人都会获得自己的成功。行不由径，功不唐捐。
