Continue the part 1, now we turn on the part 2 of " Common Things in The Success People".
You cannot go it alone. It can be hard to learn from books. And the internet makes it difficult to separate truth from fiction.
You need someone who has been there to show you the ropes. A Yoda. A Mister Miyagi.
Yes, 10K hours of deliberate practice can make you an expert butwhat makes you dedicate 10K hours to something in the first place?
As Adam Grant of Wharton explains, the answer is great mentors:
Why would somebody invest deliberate practice in something? It turns out that actually most of these world-class performers had a first coach, or a first teacher, who made the activity fun.
7. Have Grit
That’s grit. Perseverance. And it’s one of the best predictors of success there is.
Via Dan Pink’s excellent book Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us.
The best predictor of success, the researchers found, was the prospective cadets’ ratings on a noncognitive, nonphysical trait known as “grit”—defined as “perseverance and passion for long-term goals.”
Researchers have found that grit exists apart from IQ and is more predictive of success than IQ in a variety of challenging environments:
Defined as perseverance and passion for long-term goals, grit accounted for an average of 4% of the variance in success outcomes, including educational attainment among 2 samples of adults (N = 1,545 and N = 690), grade point average among Ivy League undergraduates (N = 138), retention in 2 classes of United States Military Academy, West Point, cadets (N = 1,218 and N = 1,308), and ranking in the National Spelling Bee (N = 175).
Howard Gardner studied some of the greatest geniuses of all time. One quality they all had in common sounds an awful lot like grit.
Via Creating Minds: An Anatomy of Creativity Seen Through the Lives of Freud, Einstein, Picasso, Stravinsky, Eliot, Graham, and Ghandi:
…when they fail, they do not waste much time lamenting; blaming; or, at the extreme, quitting. Instead, regarding the failure as a learning experience, they try to build upon its lessons in their future endeavors. Framing is most succinctly captured in aphorism by French economist and visionary Jean Monnet: “I regard every defeat as an opportunity.”
8. Make Awesome Mistakes
Failure is essential.
Losers like to hear that because it makes them feel better about their past mistakes. Winners use it to go make more mistakes they can learn from.
Always be experimenting. In his excellent book Little Bets, Peter Simsexplains the system used by all the greats:
The mindset is what makes a big difference. The willingness to spend 5 to 10% of your time doing experiments will, over the long run, really open up that part of you that can be more creative and entrepreneurial, and yield, hopefully, some new opportunities that you hadn’t thought of before trying something.
You must wrestle with your ideas. Dissect, combine, add, subtract, turn them upside down and shake them. Get ideas colliding.
Via Zig Zag: The Surprising Path to Greater Creativity:
Successful creators engage in an ongoing dialogue with their work. They put what’s in their head on paper long before it’s fully formed, and they watch and listen to what they’ve recorded, zigging and zagging until the right idea emerges.
