"There have now been many studies of elite performers-concert violinists, chess grand masters, professional ice-skaters, mathematicians, and so forth-and the biggest difference researchers find between them and lesser performers is the amount of deliberate practice they’ve accumulated. Indeed, the most important talent may be the talent for practice itself." - unknown

[Quote No.27780] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[Learning; neuroplasticity; growing; developing and evolving character, skills, etc:] In psychology, there are four stages to progress through from incompetence to competence in any skill:- 1st Unconscious incompetence -
The individual neither understands nor knows how to do something, nor recognizes the deficit or has a desire to address it. 2nd
Conscious incompetence -
Though the individual does not understand or know how to do something, he or she does recognize the deficit, without yet addressing it. 3rd
Conscious competence -
The individual understands or knows how to do something. However, demonstrating the skill or knowledge requires a great deal of consciousness or concentration. 4th
Unconscious competence -
The individual has had so much practice with a skill that it becomes 'second nature' and can be performed easily (often without concentrating too deeply). He or she can also teach it to others." - Unknown

[Quote No.51971] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[A story - with a message about not dwelling on past mistakes but rather spending your time focusing on what you learnt and how that has made you better and more able to make the most of all the opportunities coming to you in the future:] -
Arthur Gordon is a favorite writer of mine. Once he came to New York to interview Dr. Blanton, a co-founder of the American Foundation for Religion and Psychiatry. Mr. Gordon sat in a restaurant waiting for the esteemed psychiatrist to arrive. As he waited, his mind went back over his life. By the time Mr. Blanton arrived, Mr. Gordon was sitting there with a frown and a very sad look on his face.
'What's the matter, Arthur?'
'Oh,' the writer replied, 'I've just been sitting here thinking about all the 'if's in my life.'
Dr. Blanton suggested, 'Let's drive over to my office after lunch; I want you to hear something.'
Later in his office, Dr. Blanton put on a tape and said, 'I'm going to let you listen to three different people; they're all patients of mine and they are mentally ill. Listen carefully.'
For one hour the great author listened. When the tape was finished , Dr. Blanton asked, 'Tell me what single trait all these people had in common.'
Arthur Gordon thought a moment and then answered, 'I can't think of anything.'
'Then I'll tell you,' the psychiatrist said. 'All of them kept repeating the phrase, 'If only...if only...if only.' These words cause mental sickness. They are like poison. These people must learn to say, 'Next time...next time...next time.' These words point to the future, to a new day, to healing and health!'
[Arthur Gordon, later in a book called 'A Touch of Wonder' he wrote, 'The trouble with 'if only' is that it doesn't change anything. It keeps the person facing the wrong way – backward instead of forward. It wastes time. ...You're thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn't at all. Failure is a teacher – a harsh one, perhaps, but the best. You say you have a desk full of rejected manuscripts? That's great! Every one of those manuscripts was rejected for a reason. Have you pulled them to pieces looking for that reason? You've got to put failure to work for you. That's where you'll find success. On the far side of failure.']" - Unknown
Arthur Gordon (1912-2002) wrote 'A Touch of Wonder' and 'Through Many Windows' as well as many essays and magazine articles.

[Quote No.51982] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[A true story - with a message about seeking and accepting constructive criticism, learning from it and persisting with the things that are important to you.] - Unpolished Diamond -
How a person reacts to criticism often means the difference between success and failure. Take the case of Ole Bull, the famous Norwegian violinist of the past century.
His practical father, a chemist, sent him to the University of Christiania to study for the ministry and forbade him to play his beloved violin. He promptly flunked out and, defying his father, devoted all his time and energy to the violin. Unfortunately, though he had great ability, his teachers were relatively unskilled, so that by the time he was ready to start his concert tour he wasn't prepared.
In Italy a Milan newspaper critic wrote: 'He is an untrained musician. If he be a diamond, he is certainly in the rough and unpolished.'
There were two ways Ole Bull could have reacted to that criticism. He could have let it make him angry, or he could learn from it. Fortunately he chose the latter. He went to the newspaper office and asked to see the critic. The astounded editor introduced him. Ole spent the evening with the 70-year-old critic, asked about his faults, and sought the older man's advice on how to correct them.
Then he canceled the rest of his tour, returned home, and spent the next six months studying under really able teachers. He practiced hours upon hours to overcome his faults. Finally, he returned to his concerts and, when only 26, became the sensation of Europe." - Unknown
Ole Bornemann Bull (5 February 1810 – 17 August 1880) was a Norwegian violinist and composer.

[Quote No.52035] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[A story - with a message about the damage we continue doing to ourselves if we don't forgive ourselves for not knowing enough to protect ourselves from others' bad behavior.] - Are Your Potatoes Heavy? -
A teacher once told each of her students to bring a clear plastic bag and a sack of potatoes to school. Then, for every person who had hurt them and they had not learnt to protect themselves from that person or people like them doing it again, she got them to chose a potato, write that person's name on it and date it for the day they hurt them, and put it in the plastic bag. Very quickly some of their bags became quite heavy.
They were then told to carry the bag with the potatoes, representing their unresolved and therefore potential future repeat problems, everywhere for one week, putting it beside their bed at night, on the car seat when driving, next to their desk at work.
The hassle of lugging this around with them made it clear what a weight they were carrying emotionally, and how they had to pay attention to it all the time. Naturally, the condition of the potatoes deteriorated to a nasty, smelly slime. This was a great metaphor for the price we pay for keeping alive our pain from others' selfish acts and our fear we may allow them to do it to us again! Too often we think of forgiveness as a gift to the other person, when learning and then forgiving our past selves - for our ignorance that allowed others to hurt us clearly - should be something we give to ourselves as we become wiser with our social life-skills including how we choose and treat our associates so that our fears and future burdens are not multiplied." - Unknown
