In addition, deliberate practice will also stifle the motivation for subsequent changes, which is most obvious in many sports athletes. When athletes are brilliant in their careers, it must be the result of deliberate practice, but we have also seen too many athletes fall down and out after retirement. After a long time, I am used to looking for a job in the same industry, but if I am not satisfied with my job, I will often fall into a long wait and have no motivation to engage in a new industry. With the perseverance of athletes, if you switch to other occupations, you will certainly succeed. However, because of the deliberate practice of early athletes, the sinking cost is too high, which also brings great resistance to their career change.
Let's first look at how experience and experts are cultivated. Modern is an era of knowledge explosion, and countless information is filled with our real life. No one can fully grasp all the knowledge, and all walks of life are becoming more and more specialized. Students begin to divide arts and sciences from high school and work hard in their own direction. It is subdivided into liberal arts, science, engineering, business and other majors in universities, each with its own completely independent training mechanism. Undergraduate major 506, the ancients said 360 lines. Now society far exceeds this figure. After four years of undergraduate training, we entered a related industry and started our road of grinding our feet. In that related position, the more years of work and experience, the more professional the related work and the higher the welfare salary. This is the source of experience and the way to train experts.
However, the experience or experts trained in this way can easily fall into the skill trap, which is not good for individuals or society. For an individual, the longer he is engaged in a major, the easier it is to fall into the spell of experience. When we think about problems, we will rely too much on past experience, resulting in a situation in which trees attract the wind. This kind of empiricism can sometimes endanger the lives of professionals, and the book gives examples of firefighters. Firefighters' equipment is their extremely professional equipment, which is not only a tool for fire fighting but also a guarantee for escape, and has become a part of their profession. But when they really need to evacuate quickly, these equipments sometimes become their shackles, which makes them fall into the trap of experience. Many accidents have proved that firefighters still carry heavy equipment when they need to evacuate quickly, which has caused great obstacles to their evacuation. What non-professionals can think of at a glance is a cognitive misunderstanding for them. The same misunderstanding happens in society, which is even more harmful. This book gives an example of a medical system. If it's true, it's a little scary. During the meeting of cardiologists, the mortality rate of heart disease in hospitals is the lowest, which means that the treatment of cardiologists leads to an increase in heart disease mortality. I hope it's not true, but it can explain. There is a famous saying: "If you only have a hammer in your hand, everything you see will be a nail". People are more accustomed to solving problems with what they are good at. After a long period of professional training, this major is the only way to solve the problem. Occupation and experience have thus become a skill trap.
The Boundaries of Growth solves a problem for us with a large number of examples: to break the boundaries of our knowledge, we must jump out of the existing category, see the world in a broader world, and be a talent with unlimited growth boundaries. # Dry Goods Sharing Reading Club # # National Book Recommender # # Personal Growth #
