PART 1: Thoughts

We found no shortcuts and no prodigies who reached an expert level with relatively little practice.

      这章作者开始进入刻意练习的主题。通过小提琴和芭蕾舞者的例子说明有目的练习和刻意练习的有两个重要的区别：刻意练习是在一个相当成熟的领域，在这个领域已经有人达到了一定的水平；它由已经通过实践方法达到一定的水平的导师指导。总之，刻意练习比有目的练习更有确定的方向和方法。最后介绍了刻意练习的7个特性。

        小提琴的例子令我印象深刻，他们需要花上千小时去练习，经过十来年时间才可能有所成就成为专家，而这些练习其实是很枯燥，真的没有所谓的捷径，让我想起一句话，比我们优秀的人比我们还努力,你有什么资格不去奋斗，我就是喜欢这样励志的鸡汤文，因为它会激励我行动起来。

PART 2: Summary

The result is the top performers have devoted a tremendous amount of time to developing their abilities.It's not easy and always fun. We need to master the skills and practice by thousands of hours. We call it deliberate practice.Then, the author summarizes seven traits of deliberate practice as the above mind map. In short, Deliberate practice is purposeful practice that knows where it is going and how to get there.
