PART 1: Thoughts

The reason that most people don’t possess these extraordinary physical capabilities isn’t because they don’t have the capacity for them, but rather because they’re satisfied to live in the comfortable rut of homeostasis and never do the work that is required to get out of it. They live in the world of“good enough.”

“Good enough” is generally good enough. But it’s important to remember that the option exists.If you wish to become significantly better at something, you can.

? ? 作者通過(guò)實(shí)驗(yàn)和例子告訴我們身體也是有很強(qiáng)的適應(yīng)能力和記憶功能，當(dāng)你突破身體的適應(yīng)區(qū)，你的肌肉也會(huì)進(jìn)行重建温峭，產(chǎn)生新的適應(yīng)區(qū)肺孤，這樣不斷更新重建而變得更強(qiáng)大甜橱，但必須長(zhǎng)期堅(jiān)持葵腹，也不能太用力否則會(huì)適得其反咆畏。從人體引申到大腦燃异，進(jìn)行關(guān)聯(lián)。

? ? ? 關(guān)于push too hard for too long can lead to burnout and ineffective learning深有體會(huì)夯膀，就像這次讀書(shū)會(huì)呢蛤，第一天看到大家都這么厲害壓力特別大，因?yàn)橐蚕胱龊霉骼桑砩鲜叩絻牲c(diǎn)多其障，第二天看了很多遍Eric分享的意義，開(kāi)始自我調(diào)適心態(tài)涂佃，并多向其他人學(xué)習(xí)励翼，這大概就是適應(yīng)的過(guò)程，打碎辜荠、重組汽抚、適應(yīng)、學(xué)習(xí)伯病，然后變更好造烁。如果我停下思考、學(xué)習(xí)午笛，就會(huì)像作者例子中的musicians and retired London taxi drivers一樣stop improving 甚至是能力消失惭蟋。

PART 2: Summary

? The author cites a few? instances to illustrate that deliberate practice is useful and helpful. It's our ultimate goal.? Purposeful practice can push us to achieve more and get better. It is more effective than the usual just-enough method-and it is a step toward deliberate practice. The researchers exemplified that the human brain is incredibly adaptable as the human body. It desires for homeostasis and can be reestablished. We need to keep pushing ourselves to get out of one's comfort zone. With deliberate practice, this requires challenging homeostasis. Once we do this, learning becomes a way of taking control of our destiny and shaping our potential in ways that we choose.

修正后

From the introduction and the chapter 1 we know deliberate practice is the gold standard. Afterwards, the author compares "naive practice" with "purposeful practice" to show what is purposeful practice. The characteristics are: specific goals, focused, feedback, get out of one's comfort zone. We can get correct feedback by working with a teacher or coach. Get out of one's comfort zone is to constantly challenge ourselves. But it is not "try harder" but rather "try differently". In a nutshell, Purposeful practice is a hard work, but it can push you to achieve more and get better.

However, we should know purposeful practice isn't always so successful, as we shall see, but it is more effective than the usual just-enough method-and it is a step toward deliberate practice, which is our ultimate goal.

Then,the author illustrates that the human brain is incredibly adaptable as the human body. The researchers exemplify that the body desires for homeostasis can be harnessed to drive changes. It can be reestablished. We need to keep pushing ourselves, otherwise our ability will stop improving or even disappear. But if we push too far outside our comfort zone, we risk injuring ourselves and actually setting ourselves back. People don't possess these extraordinary physical capabilities because they choose to live in the world of "good enough". It's the traditional approach. With deliberate practice, this requires challenging homeostasis. Once we do this, learning becomes a way of taking control of our destiny and shaping our potential in ways that we choose.

PART 3: Words and Expression

1.strenuous: adj.characterized by or performed with much energy or force; "strenuous exercise"費(fèi)力的; 須用力應(yīng)付的
