Before we apply the deliberate practice to business scenerio, there are three prevailing myths that need to be recognized and rejected.
1.one’s abilities are limited by one’s genetically prescribed characteristics
“I’m not any good with numbers.”
2. if you do something for long enough, you’re bound to get better at it.
3.all it takes to improve is effort. If you just try hard enough, you’ll get better.
What about the right sort of mindset?
Anyone can improve, but it requires the right approach. If you are not improving, it’s not because you lack innate talent; it’s because you’re not practicing the right way.
For those who are unable to devote hours to practice each day. Having a practice-driven mindset can help transform normal business activities into practice activities.
In particular, feedback-driven practice—the sort of training with immediate feedback—is needed.
More generally, this Top Gun approach could be applied in a wide variety of areas in which people could benefit from practicing something over and over again “offline”—that is, away from their real job, where mistakes have real consequences. This is the rationale behind using simulators to train pilots, surgeons, and many others in high-stakes professions.
It is also possible to improve simulator training by determining which errors are most common and most dangerous and by setting up the simulators to focus on the situations where those errors happen.
感悟：知识和技能。练习技能本身是个枯燥且艰难的过程。就像是和自己的身体时刻做对抗，不断拉伸自己每一块肌肉。
知识也不是技能的对立，在建立MR的时候，如果把知识理论作为长期记忆的储备，就是一种坚实的基础。但是有一种知识的获取是无效的，即，填鸭式的获取，把知识本身看做主体，没有意识到知识应该最终服务于产出。
