Chapter 39: Deliberate Practice
In the craziest time, Su Ye would ask himself this question as long as he found himself idle, as long as he found that he had any mood swings, even if it was a few seconds of confusion.
"What should I do at this moment?"
This question may seem simple and even seem to be useless, but after years of use, it has become a powerful ability!
This ability allows Su Ye to immediately do the most important and correct things in many cases, instead of being in a daze and confused, not doing the wrong thing.
In fact, when he first practiced the Larkin problem, Su Ye didn't think it was too important.
Until a company meeting, there was a sudden noise outside, which affected the effect of the meeting, Su Ye asked himself this question for the first time, and then the first to solve it, which left a deep impact on the senior management and became an opportunity for promotion.
The Larkin problem allowed Su Ye to save a lot of time and seize countless opportunities.
These times and opportunities seemed to have little effect at first, but with the continuous accumulation, from quantitative changes to qualitative changes, Su Ye found a huge role when he reviewed it.
Now, whenever Su Ye asks himself this question, he feels that he is looking at himself from a higher and broader perspective, so as to get a more correct answer.
Experience trumps instinct, and method trumps experience.
In the continuous observation and feeling, the cheetah in Su Ye's eyes became clear, and there was no secret about their pounce, scratching, running, etc.
This can't allow Su Ye to gain great strength, but at least when he encounters similar beasts or combat skills in the future, it will make Su Ye's judgment more accurate.
Perhaps the most ordinary judgment can save one's life.
Nedern nodded and said, "Very good." Cheetahs are very explosive but have limited stamina. You now use the magic rope and start tying up the cheetah...... Don't aim at the neck, aim at the body, legs and feet, you can't be that precise right now. Also, don't use the magic rope casually, with your current total mana, you can use up to thirty apprentice spells in a morning. ”
Su Ye nodded, made the first temptation, recited the incantation, and after more than two seconds, the demon bull rope flew towards one of the cheetahs with a faint light.
The cheetah jumped suddenly, jumped out a few meters, avoided the magic rope, and glanced back at Su Ye, and then walked slowly with elegant steps, and by the way, stepped on the magic bull rope on the ground.
Seeing this scene, Su Ye woke up like a dream.
Ned looked at Su Ye's expression and said with great satisfaction: "Yes, it seems that you have found the problem. Magic can do anything, but you don't. The magic rope is a spell that can actively capture the enemy within a certain range, but if the enemy moves too fast or too far away, the magic rope will not be able to do anything. This is why most of our magicians' staffs are inlaid with amethysts, just to speed up the casting speed, and all the talents or abilities that accelerate the casting speed are the most important. ”
"Alright, you continue to use the magic rope until you tie up three cheetahs in a row."
"Thank you, teacher!"
Su Ye relented and easily portrayed the superiority brought by the magic array, and once again returned to the mentality of a humble student.
"What's a better way to learn magic now?" Su Ye asked a different question based on the Larkin problem, which Su Ye named "Method Problem".
"You can try deliberate practice."
Su Ye knew that he could not find the "perfect method", but it was certainly much better to use a recognized and effective method, and then change it slightly according to his own thinking, than to practice indiscriminately.
"Deliberate practice starts with a clear goal. The big goal of this deliberate exercise is to tie up the cheetah, but this big goal is too general, and it is best to use the method of project management objective management to break it down into different small goals. Complete a few small goals, and you will naturally complete the big goals. Large targets can be broken down into 'Better judgment of cheetah movements', 'Better judgment of the range of the magic rope', 'More accurate control of the magic cow rope', and 'Faster spell casting'. One of the faster spells will require a long period of practice, so let's put them aside for now. ”
"Start with the first little goal. However, to better judge the cheetah's movements, this goal is not clear and specific, and the goal should be determined using the SMART principle, that is, specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound. Then, within half an hour, I will be able to judge the cheetah's next move in advance, and succeed at least eight times out of ten, so that my magic rope can tie the cheetah. ”
"To do it specifically, we must first observe and summarize the various possibilities, and then compare them one by one......"
There is an essential difference between the method of use and random practice.
At first, Nedern didn't feel it, but soon, Nedern was surprised to find that Su Ye's accuracy in judging the cheetah's movements had risen rapidly.
"He must be a fighting genius!"
Nedern's heart cheered as if he had discovered a new magic, but only a faint smile appeared on the surface.
When the bell for the lunch break rang, Su Ye recited the incantation, stretched out his hand, and the magic rope flew out like a living snake, and the cheetah jumped forward, but it just jumped into the range of the magic rope.
The magic rope suddenly rose from two meters to four meters, first binding the two hind legs of the cheetah, and then continuing to spread, binding the other two front legs.
"Woohoo......" The cheetah let out an unwilling low roar.
"Good!" Nedern praised.
Su Ye stretched out his hand and withdrew the rope from the cheetah.
The original two cheetahs were already lying on their backs to the sky, and the third cheetah also turned over, revealing its white-haired belly to Su Ye, and let out a whining pleading.
Su Ye gasped for breath, and then realized that as the magic power continued to be consumed, his physical strength and energy were also declining.
However, the surrender of the three-headed cheetah and the joy of mastering the magic dispelled the physical and mental exhaustion.
"You're a genius! Genius of combat magic! Even if he tried to control it, he couldn't help but say it.
"I pretend to believe your nonsense."
Su Ye didn't believe Nedern's words at all, because everything Nedern saw, those so-called genius phenomena, were just the result of his own years of practice, and had nothing to do with genius.
How ordinary he was back then, Su Ye knew better than anyone else.
Ned was not only not angry when he heard Su Ye's words, but was very happy.
"This kid is so humble, and his achievements will probably far surpass those classmates. That Lake had a talent for forgetting, but if he met Su Ye on the battlefield, he would definitely die. ”
Ned made a judgment in his heart, saw Su Ye sweating, and said, "Go take a bath, and then have lunch." ”
"Thank you so much for your guidance!" Su Ye thanked him convincingly, today's harvest is too great.
Nedern turned to leave, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly said, "By the way, Kelton is trustworthy, for the most part. ”
"The teacher knows Kelton? However, it seems that there is something in the words......" Su Ye watched as Nedern's red hair disappeared into the woods.
Su Ye took a bath and did not eat directly, but found a meditation place specially opened by the school for students to meditate.
Before entering the meditation lawn, Su Ye received a simple magic bracelet, and the time was set to thirty minutes.
