On this we have already agreed in the first verse of this chapter that impatience is nothing to be ashamed of and has nothing to do with one's moral character. It is simply an innate human trait, the same as everyone else. If you think this consensus is still a little hollow, look around you at babies, children and adults. When a baby is just born, the role of the rational brain is extremely weak, all rely on instinct to live. Within the first six months of life, a baby will think that he is all-powerful and that the world will follow his will. This is the strongest instant gratification. Children of several years old can switch between smiling and crying faces in an instant, laugh when satisfied and rage when not satisfied, and they make no secret of their instant gratification and impatience; When they go to school, their patience becomes stronger and stronger with the development of rational brain and the growth of knowledge. There is an obvious difference between primary school, middle school and college. As adults, their physiology stabilizes, but if they stop exploring themselves, their ability to be patient may remain at the same level forever, or even regressed. On closer inspection, it is not hard to see that the high achievers in school are usually those who are better able to overcome their natural instincts, with higher levels of patience and a greater ability to delay gratification. Knowing that all the clues to patience -- historical, practical, and physical -- point to the cerebral brain, the uniquely human prefrontal cortex, has important implications for improving learning. Of course, that's not enough. We need to look at other features of the brain. Our impatience with learning is often due to our lack of understanding of how our brains learn, and we all seem to have a big blind spot when it comes to this. To scientists, the essence of learning both knowledge and skills is that neurons in the brain are making connections. In neuroscience terms, two or more neurons in the brain that aren't normally related become strongly related after repeated stimulation through a lot of repetitive learning or practice. So, the process must have been very slow at the beginning, because there was no smooth pathway between them. But as long as you keep learning or practicing, these connections will become more and more numerous and stronger, eventually forming a network so efficient that you will one day begin to accelerate and break through. This is not hard to understand. When we didn't know how to ride a bike, watching others ride it was not difficult -- just hand to hand, foot to foot alternate on it. However, when it came to riding, it was not so -- the center of gravity swung left and right, the direction swung left and right, the speed was not fast, the fear of falling, the tension was severe... That's because we haven't practiced enough, and the neurons in our brains haven't been stimulated enough to make strong associations, so even though we can easily understand how riding a bike works, we haven't actually mastered the skill ourselves. It's not until we learn the skill, and after countless daily uses, that the relevant neural connections in the brain become so strong that we truly master the skill. The same is true of learning knowledge. If we want to remember a strange word, we have to read, write and use it over and over again. Sometimes after a few days of no use, our impression of the word will become blurred. The reason is that the neuronal connections in the brain are not strong enough.It is human nature to be impatient
