How do you plan to spend the next 7 years?

At one time, I reported an interpreter class. One of the teachers was about 30 years old. It was very beautiful, and it was very fashionable. The interpreter was very good. Every time I came and went, I spent 5 minutes at noon to make a bowl of noodles. Later, she learned that her university is a history. Her job is a public relations manager of a company. My son is 5 years old. She goes to work every day, doing housework, and taking children. Different from us, she has a second-level interpreter certificate from the Ministry of Personnel. Every month, she has a conference translation task for Tiannan Haibei, and she also serves as a mentor for this interpreting center.

Opened her blog, has updated more than 500 pages, has more than 2,000 posts, all of which are articles that she does interpreting exercises every day. On average, two long and one short ones per day, she insists on doing this fast. For 10 years, she has been working hard because she loves English. I admire her. She said that 10 years ago, she had seen an investigation report. If a person wants to master a skill and become an expert, he needs to practice 10,000 hours without interruption. At that time, she had an account. If she practiced 5 hours a day, 300 days a year, then it would take 7 years for a person to master this skill.

She said, fortunately, I know what skills I want to master. I just need to start working on it. I don't have 5 hours. I can only learn 3 hours a day. It's almost 10 years now. I feel that I have mastered this skill. Sixty-six also mentioned this theory in Weibo. She said that she had become a writer after seven years of hard work writing. The Beatles had held 1200 concerts before becoming famous. Bill Gates was I have been a programmer for 7 years before I started.

But why have you been a civil servant for 10 years? Why did I have been at home for 7 years and didn't become a special chef? Instead, I found that the marriage has been itchy for 7 years?

That's because you don't have the energy and enthusiasm to practice a skill. Going to work every day is just reading the newspaper online to deal with all sorts of trivial tasks. Why are you doing it? Everyday cooking is just to let the family run normally, and does not look at it professionally.

Don't be lamented that after the graduation of the university, the profession will be lost. If you start from the middle of the country, 12 years of school education, even if you study a skill for 2 hours a day, 300 days a year, you only have 7200 hours, and there is a gap of 2800 hours. Even if you practice 1 hour a day after graduation, you need 10 years. Why are people in science and engineering more successful? As long as they are professionally matched after graduation, they still do the same thing, then they are equal to practice in 1 day and 8 hours. This 2800 hours will only be filled in more than a year. But many of us, especially women, work not in the practice of skills, most of them are trivial people and things, in fact, it is ruined.

Maybe you will say that I am an ordinary person, I don't want to be a person, I just want to live in peace. It's just your illusion, time is passing, and the behaviors that you repeat and repeat every day are shaping you, you don't want to be someone, but you are destined to be someone.

5 hours a day, if you are looking at Korean dramas, web pages, and chats, then after 7 years, you will become a bystander of life. What you are best at is the success of others and the failure to find others. To anything that can be said. Take a minute to think about what you used to do most, and then do it every day. After 7 years, you will find that you can go out and eat together. Even if you like to go shopping, do you want to try shopping for 3 hours a day? Maybe you feel very happy at the beginning, every day, you will find boredom, and then stick to it, you will begin to ponder, I can find something when I go shopping, what kind of tricks can I come up with? Stick to it, after 7 years, you may become a fashionista, an image design expert, a street photographer, a clothing buyer...

The next 7 years in life, the next 10,000 hours, how are you going to spend?
