Soft Skills-The Software Develop

The human body is amazingly adaptable. If you grab rough things with
your hands, they’ll grow callouses to protect them. If you run long dis-
tances, your cardiovascular system will adapt to make it easier. If you
lift heavy weights, your body will grow bigger muscles.
The trick is that your body is also very efficient—it doesn’t grow mus-
cle just because you want to look buff. You can stand in the mirror all
day wishing you looked like Hercules, but if you don’t actually lift
heavy weight, nothing will happen.
If you do lift weights, but the weights aren’t heavy enough—if they
don’t provide enough of a challenge to your body—your muscles will
have no reason to grow, so they won’t. The key is to progressively
overload your muscles by increasing the amount of work you ask them
to perform as they grow in response. You basically have to convince
your body that you need bigger muscles before it will create them.
Growing in size is just one of the ways your muscles can adapt to being
overloaded with work. Your muscles can also increase in strength and
endurance. If you want to optimize your muscle growth—the size of
your muscles—you have to give your muscles the proper kinds of stress.

肉体上的适应性似乎可以延伸到精神层面。经过不断重复练习，大脑也可以逐渐适应外部刺激，将以往不擅长处理的工作变得轻而易举。
