Reflection
Discipline
Deliberate practice involves stepping outside your comfort zone and trying activities that are just beyond your current abilities.
— Anders Ericsson
जानबूझकर किए गए अभ्यास में अपने कंफर्ट जोन से बाहर निकलना और ऐसी गतिविधियों को आजमाना शामिल है जो आपकी वर्तमान क्षमताओं से परे हैं।
— एंडर्स एरिक्सन
Why this matters:
Deliberate practice involves stepping outside your comfort zone and trying activities that are just beyond your current abilities. Mastery is not about the number of hours spent, but the quality of those hours. We must seek the ‘sweet spot’ of difficulty where failure is frequent but learning is maximized.
यह क्यों मायने रखता है:
महारत बिताए गए घंटों की संख्या के बारे में नहीं है, बल्कि उन घंटों की गुणवत्ता के बारे में है। हमें कठिनाई के उस 'सटीक बिंदु' की तलाश करनी चाहिए जहाँ विफलता बार-बार हो लेकिन सीखना अधिकतम हो।
