感悟

第五章的后半章，还是在讲心理表征在刻意练习中的重要地位。作者反反复复地在强调这个概念。

“it is much easier to present knowledge to a large group of people than it is to set up conditions under which individuals can develop skills through practice.”这就是我们平时说的“理都懂然并卵”，大牛们告诉你应该这样那样，你还是无法成为大牛啊，因为你不知道how they developed the skills啊。

上课学习理论知识（knowledge）是不够的，还需要实践（skills），就是这个道理，作者用刻意练习的原则解释了我们平时就知道的一些事。

同理，我看了Peak这本书，我有了deliberate practice 的knowledge ，但我不可能马上就知道怎么提高自己的写作水平，我需要具体的方案来sharpen my skill.
