8 hours? Are you kidding me? It takes 10,000 hours to learn a new skill!
8小时? 你在开玩笑吗? 学习一项新技能需要10000小时！
Wrong!
错了！
10,000 hours of deliberate practice is the amount of time it takes to be a top performer in a highly competitive field, according to Malcolm Gladwell in his book, Outliers.
10,000小时的刻意练习是在一个高度竞争的领域中成为一个优秀的表现者所需要的时间，马尔科姆·格拉德威尔在他的书《局外人》中如是说。
In the past 2 years, I’ve proven time and again that you can learn valuable soft and hard skills in about 15 to 20 hours of practice. And I’m talking about starting from nothing. I’ve learned 70 new skills in the past 2 year. But I’m not the only one who has experimented with that. My original inspiration came from Josh Kaufman’s TEDx talk, The First 20 Hours — How to Learn Anything.
在过去的两年里，我一次又一次地证明，你可以在15到20个小时的练习中学到有价值的软技能和硬技能。 我说的是白手起家。 在过去的两年里，我学会了70种新技能。 但我不是唯一一个尝试过的人。 我最初的灵感来自 Josh Kaufman 的 TEDx 演讲，The First 20 Hours ー How to Learn Anything。
Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Warren Buffett, Barack Obama, Oprah, and many more top performers dedicate a lot of their time to learning a variety of skills that allowed them to be where they are today. All of them have achieved much because of what they’ve learned and what they know. They are not more intelligent, they just dedicate more of their time on learning most valuable skills.
比尔 · 盖茨、杰夫 · 贝佐斯、埃隆 · 马斯克、沃伦 · 巴菲特、巴拉克 · 奥巴马、奥普拉以及其他许多顶尖人物都投入了大量时间学习各种技能，这些技能使他们得以取得今天的成就。 他们所有人都取得了很大的成就，因为他们学到了什么，他们知道什么。 他们并没有更聪明，他们只是把更多的时间花在学习最有价值的技能上。
I was very careful in choosing skills that are as applicable today as they will be 100 years from now. In fact, the skills that follow were useful or would have been useful thousands of years ago as well.
在选择适用于今天的技能时，我非常谨慎，因为这些技能在100年后仍然适用。 事实上，接下来的技能在几千年前也是有用的。
Each of these skills can be learned to a level in which you can be good enough in it in under 8 hours of practice — one full work day!
这些技能中的每一项都可以学到一个水平，在这个水平上，你可以在不到8个小时的练习中做得足够好——一整天的工作！
But be careful, practicing any skill for long hours will not yield the results you expect. Your brain doesn’t assimilate new knowledge that way.
但是要小心，长时间练习任何技能都不会产生你期望的结果。 你的大脑不会以这种方式吸收新知识。
The first skill in the list is the basis of every other skill you’re going to learn for the rest of your life. It’s no surprise then that I listed it as the #1 skill to learn to thrive in 2019.
列表中的第一项技能是你余生将要学习的每一项其他技能的基础。 毫不奇怪，我把它列为2019年学会茁壮成长的第一技能。
Do you want to change your life forever?
你想永远改变你的生活吗？
Start with the following skills, in no particular order, with the exception of the first one:
从下面的技能开始，没有特别的顺序，除了第一个:
- Learning to learn 学会学习
- Writing 写作
- Public speaking 公开演讲
- Meditation 冥想
- Forming good habits 养成良好的习惯
- Negotiation 谈判
- Mathematical thinking 数学思维
- Coordination and flexibility 协调和灵活性
When I started my journey to learning, I was slightly disorganized and didn’t fully understand what I was getting into. With practice, I understood the importance of knowing how our brain truly works. Today, learning anything new isn’t as hard as it used to be.
当我开始我的学习之旅时，我有点混乱，并不完全理解我将要进入的领域。 通过练习，我明白了了解大脑如何真正工作的重要性。 今天，学习任何新东西都不像以前那么困难了。
Just this month, I’m learning how to write a book in Spanish, composing epic music (starting from zero knowledge in music), developing backends in the Go language, and salsa dancing (again, starting from zero knowledge of dancing).
就在这个月，我正在学习如何用西班牙语写一本书，创作史诗般的音乐(从零音乐知识开始) ，开发围棋语言的后端，以及萨尔萨舞(再一次，从零舞蹈知识开始)。
If that sounds overwhelming to you, it should, at least for now.
如果这听起来让你难以承受，至少现在是这样。
And it may seem to you that I’m spending 100% of my time learning these skills, but the truth is that I’m only just practicing 30 minutes each every day. In 15 hours of deliberate practice, I’ll be able to do each of these where I’ll be confident enough to say I’ve acquired a skill.
你可能觉得我花了100% 的时间学习这些技能，但事实是我每天只练习30分钟。 在15个小时的刻意练习中，我将能够在我有足够的信心说我已经掌握了一项技能的时候做到这些。
The reason I’m able to do that is that I’ve learned to learn. While that obviously comes with practice, here’s how you can do this too:
我之所以能做到这一点，是因为我学会了学习。 虽然这显然需要练习，但你也可以这样做:
How do I learn it?
我如何学习它？
It would take a whole book to teach you how to learn to learn. To keep this article at a respectable length, I’ll refer you to this other story I wrote which details the keys aspects of learning to learn:
教你如何学习需要一整本书的时间。 为了保持这篇文章的长度，我将引用我写的另一个故事，它详细描述了学习学习的关键方面:

Learning new skills increases your motivation, makes you more adaptable, relatable, interesting and helps you get better jobs and earn more money.
学习新的技能可以增加你的动力，让你更具适应性，更有亲和力，更有趣，还可以帮助你找到更好的工作，赚更多的钱。
Just yesterday, I led a workshop where every member learned to create their own online store and made money on that very same day! Who would have thought that it’s something I would have taught someday in my life!
就在昨天，我领导了一个研讨会，在那里每个成员都学会了创建自己的网上商店，并在同一天赚钱！ 谁能想到有一天我也会教这些东西呢！
But it’s not just me. One of the most inspiring members of my SkillUp your Life program, Prithviraj, learned to swim and that led to him getting a new awesome job, greatly increasing his salary and improving the lives of his parents and other people surrounding him.
但不仅仅是我。 我的技能 / 生活计划中最鼓舞人心的成员之一，Prithviraj，学会了游泳，这让他找到了一份新的好工作，极大地提高了他的工资，改善了他父母和周围其他人的生活。

2. Writing2. 写作
I never aimed to write. If you asked me just a year ago what I thought about writing, I’d tell you it’s not for me. I’m a programmer. I code and I love it.
我从未想过要写作。 如果你一年前问我对写作有什么想法，我会告诉你这不适合我。 我是个程序员。 我写代码，我喜欢它。
But then in January of 2018, I decided that I should improve my writing skills, simply because it’s one of our most powerful method of communication and it’s valuable both in life and in business.
但是在2018年1月，我决定我应该提高我的写作技巧，仅仅因为它是我们最有力的沟通方式之一，在生活和商业中都很有价值。
After 5 days of writing, I got published by The Startup. 23 days later, I became a top writer in 7 categories. I received incredible comments from my reader and really started to enjoy it.
经过5天的写作，我被 The Startup 出版了。 23天后，我成为了7个领域的顶尖作家。 我从我的读者那里收到了难以置信的评论，并真正开始享受它。
I always meant to stop after 30 days of practice but with all the momentum I had going, I had to keep going. So here I am writing this piece 10 months after I wrote my first piece on medium.com.
我一直打算在30天的练习后停下来，但是由于我的动力，我不得不继续下去。 所以我在这里写这篇文章，距离我在 medium 网站上写第一篇文章已经有10个月了。
How do I learn it?
我如何学习它？
Like any skill, you learn by doing. But here’s a trick most people don’t do: write publicly.
就像任何技能一样，你可以通过实践来学习。但是有一个技巧是大多数人不会做的: 公开写作。
You learn better when people can actually see your work. It forces you to dig deeper and do your very best. It gives you accountability. You get feedback from others and improved based on it.
当人们真正看到你的作品时，你会学得更好。 它迫使你挖掘得更深，尽你最大的努力。 它赋予你责任感。 你从他人那里得到反馈，并在此基础上得到改进。
Create a blog and publish regularly and consistently. Try publishing once a day on Medium, even when you’re not satisfied with your results. People don’t have to read it.
创建一个博客，定期并持续地发表。 尝试每天在 Medium 上发布一次，即使你对结果不满意。 人们不需要去读它。
No need to write a crazy amount every day. Start small. MR. Molly Maguire started with one sentence a day and now writes complete blog posts.
没有必要每天写那么多。 从小事做起。 莫利 · 马奎尔先生从每天一句话开始，现在写完整的博客文章。
The first 8 hours:
最初的8小时:
Write 300 words a day in 30–45 minutes in 12–16 days and publish on Medium.com or your own blog.
在12-16天里，每天用30-45分钟写300字，并在 medium 网站或你自己的博客上发表。
How can it change my life?
它怎么能改变我的生活呢？
Writing helps you define your voice. It helps you get clarity on who you are and who you want to become.
写作帮助你定义你的声音。 它可以帮助你清楚你是谁，你想成为什么样的人。
Little did I know that my stories could inspire other people, yet for the past 10 months, I’ve been a top writer in inspiration, currently ranking #5.
我不知道我的故事可以激励其他人，但在过去的10个月里，我一直是灵感方面的顶级作家，目前排名第五。
Your story is your story alone. It has the power to change both your life and that of others.
你的故事只是你自己的故事，它有能力改变你和其他人的生活。
You learn to become a better storyteller, which is a crucial skill both life and business.
你学会成为一个更好的故事讲述者，这是一个生活和商业的关键技能。

3. Public Speaking3. 公开演讲
As a shy introvert, I’ve never really wanted to do any public speaking. In school, to get me out of the shyness, I’d act out some confidence in front of the class. It worked pretty well.
作为一个害羞内向的人，我从来没有真正想过做任何公开演讲。 在学校里，为了摆脱害羞，我会在全班同学面前表现出一些自信。 这个方法很有效。
It’s actually a technique I still use. Whenever I do a presentation in front of an audience, I picture myself in the shoes of Tony Robbins.
这实际上是我现在仍在使用的一种技巧。 每当我在观众面前做演讲时，我都会想象自己站在托尼 · 罗宾斯的角度。
Isn’t there anyone more comfortable in front of a large audience than Tony Robbins?
难道没有人比托尼 · 罗宾斯更适合在众多观众面前演讲吗？
Before writing in January, I picked up Storytelling and Public Speaking as two of the skills I would practice for the month. Little did I know that both these skills would become valuable in my writing after.
在一月份写作之前，我选择了讲故事和公共演讲作为这个月要练习的两项技能。 当时我并不知道，这两项技能在之后的写作中会变得有价值。
How do I learn it?
我如何学习它？
Seek opportunities to speak in front of groups.
寻找在群体面前发言的机会。
Start with people you’re comfortable with, like your friends and family. Talk about subjects you’re really passionate about. When you talk about things you love, around people you love, the nervousness doesn’t kick in.
从你觉得舒服的人开始，比如你的朋友和家人。 谈论你真正感兴趣的话题。 当你在你爱的人身边谈论你喜欢的事情时，紧张情绪不会显现出来。
Recognize that the first time you tell a story, it won’t be perfect. Take notes of people’s non-verbal reactions. Notice people’s interest level with each sentence you say.
认识到你第一次讲故事的时候，它不会是完美的。 记录下人们的非语言反应。 注意人们对你说的每一句话的兴趣程度。
Public speaking is all about refining your stories.
公开演讲就是精炼你的故事。
When ready, attend Toastmasters events. Do talks at your workplace. Do a TEDx talk. Sky’s the limit!
准备好后，参加演讲会的活动。在你的工作场所做演讲。做一个 TEDx 演讲。天空是极限！
The first 8 hours:

How can it change my life?
它怎么能改变我的生活呢？
In High Performance Habits, Brendon Burchard claims that confidence is a key ingredient in raising your clarity, necessity, energy, productivity, influence, and courage.
在《高绩效习惯》一书中，Brendon Burchard 声称自信是提升你的清晰度、必要性、精力、生产力、影响力和勇气的关键因素。
Nothing builds confidence more than doing a successful public speech.
没有什么比做一次成功的公开演讲更能建立信心了。
Given that, the more you seek public speaking opportunities out, the more you can build your confidence.
有鉴于此，你越是寻找公开演讲的机会，你就越能建立自信。
On top of those benefits, you also improve your vocabulary and speak with greater clarity. People will understand you more when you speak.
除了这些好处，你还可以提高你的词汇量，说话更加清晰。 当你说话的时候，人们会更加理解你。
I’ve definitely experienced the results explained by Burchard and his team by performing more public speeches, and so can you!
我确实经历过伯查德和他的团队通过更多的公开演讲解释的结果，你也可以！

4. Meditating4. 冥想
Meditation is one of those skills, like drawing, that I thought I would never be able to learn.
冥想是其中一种技能，就像画画一样，我以为我永远也学不会。
The problem back then is that I didn’t think of meditation as a skill, meaning I didn’t think I could learn techniques to meditate well.
当时的问题是，我不认为冥想是一种技能，这意味着我不认为我能学会冥想的技巧。
I had the preconception that meditation was about not thinking about anything, therefore any time I had a thought, it frustrated me.
我有一种先入为主的观念，认为冥想就是不去想任何事情，因此任何时候我有一个想法，它都会使我沮丧。
And I know I’m not the only one who thought that way. But it’s wrong.
我知道我不是唯一一个这样想的人，但这是错误的。
Back in September, I tried meditation with a friend in Cambodia and failed miserably. It took me 4 months after that attempt to finally give it a go again. Once I had the right mindset and I consistently practiced, I actually became good at it.
九月份的时候，我和一个在柬埔寨的朋友一起尝试冥想，结果惨遭失败。 在那次尝试之后，我花了4个月的时间才最终再次尝试。 一旦我有了正确的心态，并且坚持不懈地练习，我实际上就变得很擅长了。
How do I learn it?
我如何学习它？
As a beginner, I strongly suggest guided meditation. I’ll list what has been most helpful for me in the resources section below.
作为一个初学者，我强烈建议有指导的冥想。 我将在下面的参考资料部分列出对我最有帮助的内容。
What’s good about guided meditation is that it teaches you that it’s okay to have thoughts and guides you through a greater clarity of mind, which is what meditation really is about.
引导性冥想的好处在于，它教会你拥有想法并引导你通过更清晰的头脑，这才是冥想真正的意义所在。
You learn to be aware of how your body and mind feel. You learn to relax, even when you feel like you’re too nervous to relax.
你学会了意识到你的身体和思想的感觉。 你学会了放松，即使当你觉得太紧张而不能放松的时候。
What’s important that a lot of people don’t realize is that it takes time to learn it. Don’t try once and leave. Meditate at least once a day for at least 10 minutes.
重要的是，很多人没有意识到，学习它需要时间。 不要尝试一次就离开。 每天至少冥想一次，至少10分钟。
You’ll feel all types of emotions. In the beginning, I was bursting in laughter when instructed to count my breaths. Sometimes you’ll be frustrated. No matter the emotion, don’t let it go to your head. You have control over it. The more hours of practice you put it, the easier it gets.
你会感受到各种各样的情绪。 一开始，当我被要求数自己的呼吸时，我忍不住大笑起来。 有时候你会感到沮丧。 不管是什么情绪，都不要让它冲昏了你的头脑。 你可以控制它。 练习的时间越长，就越容易。
It’s also important that you practice where you won’t be disturbed. And as a beginner, try where there isn’t too much ambient noise. Some people will tell you to sit to meditate but I started by laying in my bed, otherwise, I didn’t feel comfortable enough and concentrated on that.
在不会被打扰的地方练习也很重要。 对于初学者来说，试试环境噪音不太大的地方。 有些人会告诉你坐下来冥想，但是我是从躺在床上开始的，否则，我会觉得不够舒服并且不能集中精力去冥想。
So whichever pose they tell you to take, try it, but comfort is more important in my opinion, especially when learning.
所以无论他们告诉你采取什么姿势，试一试，但在我看来舒适更重要，尤其是在学习的时候。

最初的8小时:
Do 20 minutes of Headspace a day for 24 days.
连续24天，每天做20分钟的顶空运动。
How can it change my life?
它怎么能改变我的生活呢？
Here are some of the long-term benefits I got from learning to meditate:
以下是我从学习冥想中获得的一些长期益处:
I reduced the time it took me to fall asleep from 1–2 hours to 10–15 minutes. The quality of my sleep also tends to be better.
我把我入睡的时间从1-2小时减少到10-15分钟。 我的睡眠质量也越来越好。
I’m not a stressful person, but I’ve seen a reduction of stress nonetheless. A lot of people report being much less stressed from doing meditation.
我不是一个有压力的人，但是我还是看到了压力的减少。 许多人报告说冥想带来的压力要小得多。
I have more clarity on my emotions, body, and mind, leading me to make better decisions.
我对自己的情绪、身体和思想有了更清晰的认识，这使我做出了更好的决定。
And one I find really important but is often overlooked: I’m much faster at context switching. Most of us work on different projects at the same time, and switching from one context to another takes time. I reduce that time by doing a quick 5-minute meditation session.
我发现一个非常重要但经常被忽视的问题: 我在上下文切换方面要快得多。 我们大多数人在同一时间从事不同的项目，从一个环境切换到另一个环境需要时间。 我通过快速进行5分钟的冥想来减少这些时间。
Of course, you can expect similar results in your life when you stick to it.
当然，当你坚持下去的时候，你可以期待在你的生活中会有类似的结果。

5. Forming Good Habits5. 养成良好的习惯
Forming good habits is a powerful tool to increase your motivation for doing anything.
养成良好的习惯是一个强大的工具，可以增加你做任何事情的动力。
Forming bad habits, on the flip-side, can be extremely dangerous for your life.
另一方面，养成坏习惯可能对你的生活造成极大的危险。
By knowing how habits take form and how they work, you can better control what habits you form and get rid of habits that are detrimental to you.
通过了解习惯是如何形成的以及它们是如何起作用的，你可以更好地控制你形成的习惯，摆脱那些对你有害的习惯。
How do I learn it?
我如何学习它？
The best way I’ve found to learn to keep your habits in check is to be accountable for your good or bad habits. Find one or multiple people that you report to on a regular basis. The more frequent the better.
我发现学会控制你的习惯的最好方法就是对你的好习惯或坏习惯负责。 找到一个或多个你定期汇报的人。 越频繁越好。
Find someone you don’t know that much, or at all. They’re less likely to sugarcoat it for you and will be less lenient. Ideally, that someone would be working on the same habits.
找一个你不太了解的人，或者根本不了解的人。 他们不太可能为你粉饰太平，也不会那么仁慈。 理想的情况是，有人会养成同样的习惯。
Noticed how people tend to stick to the gym more when they go with someone else or take classes?
注意到了吗，当人们和别人一起去健身房或者去上课的时候，他们会更加坚持去健身房？
That’s accountability at work.
这就是工作中的责任。
Habits, contrary to beliefs, are not located in the same area of your brain as your memories. Astonishingly, and consequently, people with learning disabilities can still form habits. That’s also how you can never truly unlearn to ride a bicycle.
与信念相反，习惯并不在你大脑的记忆区域。 令人惊讶的是，因此，有学习障碍的人仍然可以形成习惯。 这也是为什么你永远不能忘记骑自行车。
The first 8 hours:
最初的8小时:
Find and report to an accountability partner every day. Spend 10 minutes exchanging and encouraging each other. Do that for at about 48 days.
每天寻找并向责任合作伙伴汇报。 花10分钟互相交流，互相鼓励。 这样做大约48天。
How can it change my life?
它怎么能改变我的生活呢？
I used to go straight to my video games after work, playing all evening and going to bed late. When I was only 15 years old, my older brother told me the following, after always seeing me play my Gameboy Advance on the couch every day:
我曾经下班后直接去玩电子游戏，玩一整晚，然后很晚才上床睡觉。 当我只有15岁的时候，我的哥哥在每天看到我在沙发上玩我的 Gameboy Advance 游戏后告诉我以下的事情:
“You’ll never do anything in life.”
“你这辈子什么也干不了。”
I’m happy to prove him wrong now. Most of it started when I formed the good habit of practicing 3 skills every morning before starting work.
现在我很乐意证明他是错的。 大部分是从我养成每天早上开始工作前练习三种技能的好习惯开始的。
I’m now in the best physical shape I’ve ever been in my life, I eat healthier, workout almost every day, I learn something new on a daily basis, and I sleep much better.
我现在是我生命中最好的身体状态，我吃得更健康，几乎每天都锻炼，我每天学习新的东西，我睡得更好。
As a result, I live a happier and more fulfilled life.
因此，我过着更幸福、更充实的生活。
When your habits work in favour of taking care of your health, you start to see positive change in your life. You’re more motivated to get rid of the bad habits and become more driven.
当你的习惯有利于照顾你的健康时，你开始看到你生活中的积极变化。 你更有动力摆脱坏习惯，变得更有动力。

6. Negotiating6. 谈判
Now, this is a skill I personally need to spend more time on.
现在，这是一个我个人需要花更多时间在上面的技能。
I count Selling, Saying “yes” and Saying “no” as part of negotiating.
我把推销、说“是”和说“不”算作谈判的一部分。
How often can you create win-win situations?
你多久能创造一次双赢局面？
That’s what true negotiation is about. A negotiation where only one of two parties gets to win is not a negotiation, it’s a loss.
这才是真正的谈判。 双方只有一方获胜的谈判不是谈判，而是失败。
For centuries, people and organizations alike have thrived by mastering the art of negotiation. Without good negotiation skills, businesses stand no chance. It was true hundreds of years ago, and it’s even truer today and beyond.
几个世纪以来，人们和组织都通过掌握谈判艺术而蓬勃发展。 没有良好的谈判技巧，企业就没有机会。 几百年前就是这样，今天甚至更久以后也是这样。
Part of negotiating is learning to say “yes” or “no” to the right things. Check the resources section below for help on that.
谈判的一部分就是学会对正确的事情说“是”或“不是”。 请查看下面的参考资料部分以获得相关帮助。
How do I learn it?
我如何学习它？
The next time you think about a negotiation situation, think win-win. What most don’t realize is that we negotiate almost on a daily basis. A lot of our interaction with other people are about interacting.
下次你考虑谈判时，想想双赢的局面。 大多数人没有意识到的是，我们几乎每天都在谈判。 我们与他人的很多互动都是关于互动的。
Where to go for dinner? What to watch tonight? What mode of transportation to use?, etc.
去哪里吃晚饭? 今晚看什么节目? 用什么交通工具? 等等。
Once you realize that negotiation is a skill and it needs practice, you’ll start to find many scenarios around you that are good practice. If you can’t think of any, simply search “practice negotiation skills” in your favourite search engine, there are tons of results!
一旦你意识到谈判是一种技巧，需要练习，你就会发现你周围的很多场景都是很好的练习。 如果你想不出任何方法，只要在你最喜欢的搜索引擎中搜索“练习谈判技巧” ，就会有成千上万的结果！
The first 8 hours:
最初的8小时:
Prepare 8 case scenarios ranging from the workplace, romance, friend activities, haggling, business, etc. Find at least one person to practice each scenario with. Practice each scenario once a week for 15 minutes. Do that for four weeks.
准备8个案例，范围包括工作场所、恋爱、朋友活动、讨价还价、商业等等。 找到至少一个人来练习每个场景。 每周练习每种方案一次，每次15分钟。 坚持四个星期。
How can it change my life?
它怎么能改变我的生活呢？
If you are salaried, it will help you negotiate a better salary and benefits. You’ll also be able to negotiate to work on the most interesting projects for you.
如果你是领薪水的，这将帮助你谈判一个更好的薪水和福利。 你还可以协商出最适合你的项目。
If you are trying to find a job, you’ll know better what they are looking for and adapt to your interviewer.
如果你正在努力寻找一份工作，你会更好地了解他们在寻找什么，并适应你的面试官。
In your romantic life, you’ll handle conflicts better, and likely have less of them too.
在你的浪漫生活中，你会更好地处理冲突，而且可能也会减少冲突。
When haggling in markets, you’ll be able to get better deals.
当你在市场上讨价还价的时候，你会得到更好的交易。
In business, you’ll get more clients to say “yes” to you.
在生意场上，你会得到更多的客户对你说“是”。
And probably the most important benefit is that it improves your confidence.
最重要的好处可能是它提高了你的自信。

7. Mathematical Thinking7. 数学思维
Back in university, I had a course about discrete mathematics. I hated it. Especially the logic part of it, which is strange considering I now call myself a logical person.
在大学的时候，我有一门关于离散数学的课程。 我讨厌它。 特别是其中的逻辑部分，这很奇怪，因为我现在称自己为一个讲逻辑的人。
What I didn’t realize at the time was that it was one of the most formative courses of my life. I learned to think more logically and make better-informed decisions.
当时我没有意识到的是，这是我一生中最重要的课程之一。 我学会了更有逻辑地思考，做出更明智的决定。
And it’s not only discrete mathematics but many other branches of maths develop your analytical and reasoning skills. What at the time seemed like a skill I would not ever use turned out to be a great exercise to develop other parts of my brain.
不仅仅是离散数学，还有许多其他的数学分支能够提高你的分析和推理能力。 在当时看起来像是一种我永远不会使用的技能，结果证明是一种很好的锻炼，可以开发我大脑的其他部分。
While I may not use algebra or calculus frequently, the logical mindset I developed through it changed many aspects of my life.
虽然我可能不经常使用代数或微积分，我通过它发展的逻辑思维模式改变了我生活的许多方面。
How do I learn it?
我如何学习它？
Learning mathematical thinking is basically the same as what you do in school, you practice sample problems. The difference now is that no one is forcing you to do it, plus you are aware of the real-world benefits of doing it (see below).
学习数学思维基本上和你在学校做的一样，你练习样题。 现在的区别是，没有人强迫你这么做，而且你知道这么做的真实好处(见下文)。

8. Coordination and Flexibility8. 协调和灵活性
Most of the other skills on my list are intellectual skills but it’s not to say that physical skills are not useful.
我列出的其他大多数技能都是智力技能，但这并不是说身体技能没有用。
In fact, having coordination and flexibility is one of the most important parts of living a healthy life. And without being healthy, it’s hard to even think about the skills above.
事实上，协调性和灵活性是健康生活最重要的部分之一。 如果没有健康的身体，就很难去思考上面提到的技能。
Back when I was in Spain, journaling from the beach, I met this incredibly fit guy doing stretches. I thought to myself, maybe he would have some tips for me to get fit like he. He was, after all, working intensively on my physical shape back then.
当我在西班牙的时候，在海滩上写日记的时候，我遇到了一个非常健康的家伙，他正在做伸展运动。 我心想，也许他会给我一些建议，让我像他一样保持健康。 毕竟，当时他正在集中精力锻炼我的身体。
His secret was not what I expected. He didn’t even work out or eat tons of protein. He was just stretching every day and he was a vegan.
他的秘密出乎我的意料。 他甚至不锻炼身体，也不吃大量的蛋白质。 他每天都做伸展运动，而且他是个素食主义者。

He showed me some tricks, which are really hard to explain in text. Check the resources section below for sample stretching exercises. They’re really advanced, but if you do them every day as he did, you’ll notice you’ll get much better at them in a short period of time.
他向我展示了一些技巧，这些技巧在课文中很难解释。 请查阅下面的参考资料部分以获取伸展练习的例子。 他们真的很先进，但是如果你每天都像他那样做，你会发现你会在很短的时间内做得更好。
And what’s great about these stretches is that they can be done from anywhere and require no equipment, or minimal equipment.
这些伸展运动最棒的地方在于，它们可以在任何地方进行，不需要任何设备，或者最简单的设备。

This skill will open the doors to more physical activities. The more coordination and flexibility you have, the easier it will be to perform at any sport or physical activity. I’m no cardiac expert but I’m sure it helps with blood circulation too.
这项技能将为更多的体育活动打开大门。 你的协调性和柔韧性越强，你就越容易在任何运动或体育活动中表现出色。 我不是心脏专家，但我确信它也有助于血液循环。
“Having an increase in blood flow and circulation to areas of your body helps promote cell growth and organ function. Your skin also benefits from an increase in blood circulation. Healthy skin is better able to fight off bacteria and infection that it may come in contact with. When your heart pumps at full force, your heart rate lowers, heart muscles relax and your blood pressure flows evenly and smoothly.” — benefits-blood-circulation-katharine-jensen-kjensifyme-healthy
“增加身体各部位的血液流动和循环，有助于促进细胞生长和器官功能。 你的皮肤也受益于血液循环的增加。 健康的皮肤能够更好地抵御细菌和感染，它可能接触。 当你的心脏全速跳动时，你的心率就会降低，心脏肌肉就会放松，血压就会平稳而顺畅地流动。” 益处-血液循环-katharine-jensen-kjensifyme-healthy
