PART 1: Thoughts
People do not stop learning and improving because they have reached some innate limits on their performance; they stop learning and improving because, for whatever reasons, they stopped practicing or never started.
這部分作者對(duì)著名的一些“天才”案例（Paganini, Mozart, Donald Thomas, savants等）進(jìn)行分析并追根溯源，說(shuō)明沒(méi)有所謂的“天才”濒旦，所謂天才的都是建立在大量的刻意練習(xí)的基礎(chǔ)上的泉手。生活中我們總能聽(tīng)到“我沒(méi)有這個(gè)天賦破停，做不到的”叮叹、“她比較聰明”蜕煌、“他是男生鲸阻，所以他的理科比較好”等等之類(lèi)的言論玄呛，其實(shí)這些都是我們給別人或自己貼的標(biāo)簽阅懦，“天才”也是我們對(duì)于別人成功結(jié)果的自我定義，有時(shí)甚至成為我們逃避徘铝、不努力的借口耳胎。
大家都說(shuō)朗朗是鋼琴天才，但這個(gè)天才付出的代價(jià)是童年大部分被鋼琴占滿(mǎn)惕它，即便是成名后怕午，郎朗媽媽告訴記者，無(wú)論多忙淹魄，郎朗每天都會(huì)抽出至少三個(gè)小時(shí)的時(shí)間來(lái)練習(xí)鋼琴演奏郁惜，每逢重大演出，他的練習(xí)量還會(huì)隨之加大甲锡。還有最近網(wǎng)上很火的“外賣(mài)小哥被川外錄取”兆蕉，他的逆襲不是幸運(yùn)也不是天賦，是源于他每天利用空余時(shí)間堅(jiān)持背單詞缤沦。還有在他走紅網(wǎng)絡(luò)后恨樟，有一位在上海高校供職的老師每天從QQ上幫助指導(dǎo)他。成功逆襲的最佳“捷徑”疚俱，就是堅(jiān)持刻意練習(xí)劝术。愿我們也能逆襲成功。
PART 2: Summary
In chapter 6 the author has mentioned that natural talent is one of the myths. Both willpower and natural talent are traits that people assign to someone after the fact. In chapter 8 the author undertakes an in-depth study of this topic by some classic examples（eg. Paganini, Mozart, Donald Thomas, ect.). The most obvious conclusion to draw from this is that they have indeed trained and never stop learning. Furthermore, there is no evidence that some people are born without the innate ability to success. In short, the best way to be a talent is to constantly develop your skill in the right way.
