The day I learned the theory of deliberate practice, I started practicing it. In the past, when my daughter practiced the piano, her mother would ask her to play the newly learned music 10 times, as long as the number of times is enough, the task is completed. Now I use the principle of deliberate practice to change the practice method. After listening to her play again, I found that she was not skilled and prone to mistakes, so I asked her to practice only the first section today, not the rest (divide the big target into small targets), and then only practice the wrong part (practice in the stretching area). As long as she can play it smoothly for 3 times without making mistakes, it will be finished (specific and clear goals). During practice, I would correct her fingering and keystroke errors (timely and effective feedback) so that she would quickly get into a state of concentration (immersion) and soon be playing the first verse very well. Although my daughter said she was tired at the end, she was clearly feeling a sense of accomplishment, because she was not afraid of the hardest part. If she didn't, she would play familiar places over and over again, passing the difficult ones and often stopping carelessly in the middle, which was a very inefficient practice. By appreciating these four elements carefully, we can enter a state of deep immersion, from "focus" to "excellence." Of course, true excellence requires another element: a lot of practice. How much practice does it take?

Little pianist Anke Chen may provide us with a reference answer. She began to practice when she was three and a half years old. A year and a half later, she was on the show playing piano music of level 8 difficulty. In an interview on the show, she admitted that she practiced for four hours a day, while in an earlier interview she said: "I practice every day, not a day." It can be seen that genius also needs a lot of practice, or it is "the right way" and "a lot of practice" to make a genius. No matter who has the ability of deep immersion, it is bound to go to the top of a certain field. So, from now on, take a good look at yourself. · Examine your attention -- is it a passive attraction or an active choice? · Examine your level of immersion -- is it distraction or intense concentration? · Look at how much you practice -- do you dabble or pour? The wisdom of those who came before us is enough to lead us to excellence. If we pick it up with our hearts, we can make our own achievements and benefit others in the tide of evolution.
