(1) 1% better every day.
A tiny changes, a tiny improvement can makes our final result much better. Just as the author said, if you improve just only one percent better than yesterday, you will soon find out that you will be 37.78 times better next year. In contrast, if you are having 1 percent of decline. You can only reach 0.03 times as now. Therefore persistence is an important things. We should always tried to improve ourselves and be self discipline.
(2) The plateau of latent potential
Actually result is not as we have expected in the beginning. We always expect our result should be proportional to our time spent inside. However, the curve is not a slope with constant coefficient, instead it is an exponential curve which we might not seen the result at the beginning but finding out a tremendous rewards after a specific amount of time and effort spent. And the key timing is so called the threshold.
Reflection
After reading this books I starts to realize that how powerful a habit could be. I realize that what we should focus on is not the final goal, instead, its the tiny steps that we have walked through. We should always forget about goals but focusing on our current steps. That's the key leads to our success. Just as this author has said, both winner and loser shared the same goal, therefore, the only difference between them is just whether they focus on their daily improvement. That's the sentences that impress me most and I really looking forward to read the following chapter of this book .
This book is really interesting and as it has introduce lots of knowledge to me and most of the knowledge are strongly bonded with our daily life.
So good to see a non-novel reflection! I know this book from the bestseller of kingstore, and I am amazed that you find the untranslated version!One of my friend loves this book and he once recommended me to read. Self-discipline is challenging for multi-tasker, all of us, and I think this book explains why good habits matter, just like you said.
ReplyDeleteHiya, it's cool that the author makes it mathematically on showing the improvements if we do a bit better than yesterday. The comparison to what we may occur if a little decline happens give a noticeable message to encourage us on keeping up.
ReplyDeleteFor me, the hardest part isn't releasing the concept, but put that into practice. Resting enough but not listless user of social media. I'll try that definitely. It's a useful sharing. Appreciate it!
