When I was five years old, I played the role of the turtle in a play organized by my older sister. I had one line at the end, when I beat the sleeping rabbit to the finish line: slow and steady wins the race.
我五歲時(shí)在我姐姐組織的一場演出中扮演烏龜嚣镜，最后打敗熟睡的兔子沖過終點(diǎn)線時(shí)有一句臺(tái)詞：又慢又穩(wěn)贏得了比賽激挪。
I’ve always felt that those words guided my career. I was never the fastest; I was rarely an A student.
我總是感覺那些話對(duì)我的事業(yè)有指導(dǎo)作用辰狡，我從來不是最快的，我?guī)缀鯖]得過A垄分。
But as the careers of others stalled, I kept going.
但當(dāng)其他人事業(yè)停滯不前時(shí)搓译，我的事業(yè)一直在發(fā)展。
My goal was always the same: to learn more this year than I had last year.
我的目標(biāo)始終如一：今年要比去年多學(xué)點(diǎn)東西锋喜。
When I see slow students, that’s what I think of.
我看到學(xué)習(xí)慢的學(xué)生時(shí)就是這樣想的。
Are those the students who will keep learning over their entire lifetime, and leave the “quick” students far behind?
那些學(xué)生能否終其一生都在學(xué)習(xí)豌鸡，然后把學(xué)習(xí)快的學(xué)生遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)落在后面嘿般？

Some people have difficulty with particular topics. They may also have a slow deliberate style.
有些人理解某些特定話題有困難，他們可能是緩慢從容的風(fēng)格涯冠。
I don’t have a problem with them either, so long as they are trying.
我教他們也沒什么困難炉奴，只要他們努力即可。
I usually have them come in to see me during office hours, and/or spend time with a TA (if there is one) if they need the extra help.
我經(jīng)常會(huì)在工作期間叫他們來見我蛇更，或者如果他們需要額外幫助就讓他們跟助教聊聊（如果有助教的話）瞻赶。
The goal of education is not to gain as much knowledge as quickly as possibly, but to gain useful knowledge and retain it.
教育的目標(biāo)不是以最快速度獲取最多知識(shí)，而是要獲取有用的知識(shí)并記在大腦里派任。
As such, I would prefer a slow, thoughtful student to a fast, superficial one.
正因如此砸逊，相較于學(xué)習(xí)快、膚淺的學(xué)生而言掌逛，我更喜歡學(xué)習(xí)慢但深思熟慮的學(xué)生师逸。

Technically, I’m not a professor yet, but I have taught middle and high school students, and I’m currently teaching undergraduate machine learning.
從專業(yè)角度來說，我還不是一名教授豆混，但我教過中學(xué)生和高中生篓像，我現(xiàn)在教大學(xué)生機(jī)器學(xué)習(xí)。
As a teacher, I don’t care how “fast” someone learns something.
作為一名教師皿伺，我不在乎學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)有多快员辩。
There may be a lot of reasons someone picks up a particular subject or topic more quickly: more background, natural adeptness, previous exposure to the material, more sleep that night, less stress, and so on.
有很多原因會(huì)導(dǎo)致學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)某一特定學(xué)科或話題比別人快：更多的背景知識(shí)、天生的熟練鸵鸥、之前接觸過相關(guān)材料奠滑、前一晚睡眠更充足、壓力更小等。
We process information differently.
我們處理信息有所不同养叛。
To use myself as an example, I tended to be comparatively slow in my advanced undergraduate mathematics classes.
以我自己為例种呐，我在大學(xué)高數(shù)課上就屬于相對(duì)學(xué)習(xí)慢的。
In retrospect, I’ve come to realize that one of the ways I learn is “error-based.” That is, I effectively learn by making mistakes.
回顧過去弃甥，我意識(shí)到我的一種學(xué)習(xí)方法是“以錯(cuò)為鑒”爽室，就是通過犯錯(cuò)有效地學(xué)習(xí)。
This may be slower than other methods of learning, but when I learn something, I really learn it.
這個(gè)方法可能比其他學(xué)習(xí)方法慢淆攻，但只要我學(xué)會(huì)了阔墩，就是真的學(xué)會(huì)了。
Personally, I think that this method of learning is well-suited for research. Now, this is quite different from someone who is simply unprepared for a course.
就我個(gè)人而言瓶珊，我認(rèn)為這種學(xué)習(xí)方法很適合做研究⌒ン铮現(xiàn)在我要說明一下這跟課前準(zhǔn)備不充分可不是一回事。

I seldom worried about “slow learners” when teaching residents or even medical students. I knew these young men and women could learn.
在教當(dāng)?shù)鼐用窕蛘呱踔玲t(yī)學(xué)生時(shí)我不怎么擔(dān)心學(xué)得慢的人伞芹，我知道這些年輕人能學(xué)會(huì)忘苛。
There is a lot of material to master in medicine, but there is also time. That is what training programs are about.
醫(yī)學(xué)上有很多需要掌握的材料，但也需要時(shí)間唱较，這就是培訓(xùn)項(xiàng)目的意義所在扎唾。
Like in so many other professions, knowledge is only a part of being a doctor.
像很多其他職業(yè)一樣，知識(shí)只是醫(yī)生職業(yè)的一部分南缓。
I spent decades learning enough to be a doctor and decades more keeping up and improving.
我花費(fèi)數(shù)十年時(shí)間學(xué)習(xí)醫(yī)生所需的足夠多的東西胸遇，又花費(fèi)數(shù)十年時(shí)間追趕潮流并提高自我。
It never stops, and never should.
學(xué)習(xí)永不停歇汉形，也永遠(yuǎn)不該停下纸镊。
Slow learners need a study plan, and time, and good classes, and periodic assessment.
學(xué)習(xí)慢的人需要學(xué)習(xí)計(jì)劃、時(shí)間概疆、好的課堂和定期評(píng)估逗威。
Now the world is competitive and sometimes being too slow means you miss out.
現(xiàn)在社會(huì)競爭激烈，有時(shí)速度太慢意味著你會(huì)錯(cuò)過機(jī)會(huì)届案。
But speed is seldom the biggest marker of success. Learning, like a career, or like life, is a marathon, not a sprint.
但速度也極少是成功最大的標(biāo)志庵楷。學(xué)習(xí)就像事業(yè)或生活一樣，是一場馬拉松楣颠，而不是沖刺尽纽。
