10月30日《财富》杂志研究成功的秘诀说，没有人不经过努力就能成功。中有“十年规则”和“有目的性的实践”这两个说法。

十年规则：

没有人不经过努力就能成功。结果表明，甚至连拥有最高天赋的人，也必须经过大约十年的刻苦努力和训练，才能达到世界级水平。

“有目的性的实践”

在任何领域取得最高成就的，则是那些把时间和精力花在“有目的性的实践”上的人。“有目的性的实践”指的是一种有目的地改进成果的活动，它设定了稍高于个人能力水平的目标，并根据活动的效果进行适时调整，持之以恒而有规律地进行。

Tip Sheet: Perfect Practice
1. Approach each critical task with an explicit goal of getting much better at it.
2. As you do the task, focus on what‘s happening and why you‘re doing it the way you are.
3. After the task, get feedback on your performance from multiple sources. Make changes in your behavior as necessary.
4. Continually build mental models of your situation - your industry, your company, your career. Enlarge the models to encompass more factors.
5. Do those steps regularly, not sporadically. Occasional practice does not work.
