Redefine 10000 hours of life: there is no genius in the world.

Redefine 10000 hours of life: there is no genius in the world.

Experts' scientific investigation shows that there is no such thing as "genius" in the world, and genius is cultivated the day after tomorrow. 10000 hours is the lower limit of success.

From 65438 to 0985, Professor Benjamin Bloom of the University of Chicago published an important book, How to Cultivate Young People's Talents.

He studies how to find future talents among teenagers.

He surveyed 120 elites from all walks of life, including musicians, scientists, artists and engineers, but came to an awkward conclusion: genius can't be found in adolescence.

You can't find any universally applicable indicators, suggesting that this child will become a talent in the future. There is no correlation between IQ test and future performance.

However, there is one exception. It has a strong positive correlation with personal achievement. Professor Benjamin Bloom found that all the elites surveyed invested a lot of time and practiced hard. The greater the achievement, the more diligent you appear, and the longer you study business.

His last point is that genius is not born, but cultivated.

This view has aroused great repercussions, and many scholars follow up and engage in follow-up research. If Einstein had not been born, could we have trained more Einstein?

From 65438 to 0993, Professor Anders Eriksson from the University of Miami came to the Berlin Conservatory of Music and divided the students there into three groups: ordinary students, excellent students and excellent students. What do the best musicians have in common?

As a result, the only thing I found in common was the length of practice time.

Ordinary students practice playing the piano for about 4000 hours in total; Excellent students, about 8000 hours; No outstanding student has less than 10000 hours.

He published this discovery in a paper entitled "The role of purposeful training in obtaining expert performance".

In 2008, the best-selling author Malcolm Gladwell wrote this paper into his new book The Outsider: The Success Story.

He conceptualized the conclusion of the original paper, claiming that there is a "10000 hours rule" (10000 hours rule), that is, success requires at least 10000 hours of investment.

Before becoming popular, The Beatles had performed in bars for 65,438+00,000 hours.

Before Microsoft was founded, Bill Gates spent 10000 hours programming.

Painter Picasso, musician Mozart and basketball player Jordan all have more than 10000 hours of training.

After the book was published, it became the first best seller list in The New York Times.

In 2009, a man named Dan mclaughlin read this book.

He is a commercial photographer, but he is less and less interested in his work. He wants to change his life. The book inspired him.

On June 27th, 2009, Dan's 30th birthday, he decided to quit his job and began to work hard to become a professional golfer.

Before that, he had hardly played golf and was not even interested in the sport. His plan is to practice six hours a day, six days a week, and six years after resigning, totaling more than 10000 hours, and then become a professional player.

He called it Project Dan.

Everyone thinks this idea is crazy. Both Dan's father and sister think it is impossible to succeed.

But Dan ignored it. In order to ensure that the idea can be put into practice, he accumulated $654.38 million+and rented the house in order to obtain a stable rental income. On April 2010/5, he began to practice day after day and took notes every hour.

Can an ordinary person give up his present life and start another one? Dan is doing such an experiment, which has never been done before.

At this age (30 years old), without any foundation, I practiced from scratch for six years, made detailed statistics at first, and constantly adjusted according to scientific methods, and finally became a professional player.

Can he succeed?

Dan knows exactly what he is doing. He said:

"I have a 99% chance that I won't succeed. But it doesn't matter. My real purpose is to see how far an ordinary person can go if he keeps investing time. "

"If I can become a professional golfer, for many ordinary people, their life path will have many more choices. The result of this experiment does not depend on my personal success or failure. It is to let people see that life has more possibilities. "

"If I really put 10000 hours into a career, I would have succeeded."

"I am testing human potential."

He wants to prove the idea behind "10000 hour rule": what really determines a person's achievement is not talent or luck, but strict self-discipline and high-intensity dedication.

The secret of success is not the secret at all, that is, keep doing it. If you really work hard, you will find yourself much better than you think.
