Recommend an article "The Next 7 Years, Who Am I? "I signed up for an interpreting class on a whim. One of the teachers was about 30 years old. He was very beautiful and fashionable. He was very good at interpreting. eat. It was only later that she learned that she studied history in college and that her job was the manager of the public relations department of a company. Her son was 5 years old. She had to go to work, do housework and take care of the children every day. Different from us, she has a second-level interpreting certificate from the Personnel Department. She has conference translation tasks every month, and she also serves as a tutor for this interpretation center. Opening her blog, she has updated more than 500 pages and has more than 2,000 posts, all of which are articles she does interpreting exercises by herself every day, an average of two long and one short every day, and she has been doing it for almost 10 years. Years, non-professional background, she has been working hard because she loves English. I admired her. She said that 10 years ago, she had seen a survey report that 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 calculated that if you practiced 5 hours a day and 300 days a year, 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 put in the work immediately, I don't have 5 hours, I can only study 3 hours a day, it's almost 10 years now, I I think I have almost mastered this skill. Liuliu also mentioned this theory on Weibo. She said that she only became a writer after 7 years of hard writing. The Beatles had held 1,200 concerts before they became famous. He had been a programmer for 7 years before he made his fortune. But why have you been a civil servant for 10 years and still only a small clerk? Why did I cook at home for 7 years, but did not become a super chef, but found that the marriage has reached the itch for 7 years? That's because, you haven't put the energy and enthusiasm into practicing a skill. Going to work every day is just reading newspapers and surfing the Internet to deal with all kinds of trivial tasks. What are you doing, everyone? Cooking every day is just to keep the family running normally, and I don’t look at this from a professional perspective.Don't bemoan the loss of your major after graduating from college. If you start from junior high school, with 12 years of school education, even if you learn a skill for 2 hours a day, 300 days a year, you will only have 7,200 hours, and there is still a gap of 2,800 hours. , even if you practice 1 hour a day after graduation, you need 10 years. Why are people in science and engineering more likely to succeed? As long as they have the right majors after graduation and still do the same thing, then they are practising 8 hours a day, and these 2800 hours will be filled in just over a year. But for many of us, the content of our work is not to practice skills, most of them are trivial people and things, in fact, they are abandoned. Maybe you will say, I am an ordinary person, I don't want to be someone, I just want to live in peace. It's just your illusion, time is passing, and the actions you repeat every day are shaping you, who you don't want to be, but who you are meant to be.If you spend 5 hours a day watching Korean dramas, web pages, and chatting, then after 7 years, you will become a bystander in life. What you are best at is to talk about the successes and failures of others, and find it in yourself. Nothing to say. Take a minute to think about what you wanted to do the most, and then do it every day. After 7 years, you will find that you can rely on this to go out and eat. Even if you like to go shopping, do you stipulate that you go shopping for 3 hours a day? Maybe you feel very happy at first, every day like this, you will find boredom, and if you stick to it, you will start to wonder, what else can I find when I go shopping, and what tricks can I come up with? Persevere, after 7 years, you may become a fashionista, image design expert, street photographer, clothing buyer... The next 7 years in your life, the next 10,000 hours, how are you going to spend it? Friends who want to expand their contacts and share their workplace experiences.
