1. Why specializing early doesn't always mean career success

Human potential development, and modern developments that may have
the most impact. About the 10,000 hour rule is, in essence, the idea that to get
good at anything, it takes 10,000 hours of focused practice, so it's best to start as
early as possible. If the 10,000-hour rule is correct, then we should see that elite
athletes gain an edge in what is called deliberate training. This is a practiced
exercise, focusing on error correction, not just playing around. And in fact, when
scientists studied elite athletes, they saw that they spent more time in deliberate
training no big surprise. It turns out that the patterns used are often the same.
Looking at surprising patterns of this kind in sports and music, how about a
domain that affects more people, like education. An economist discovered
natural experimentation in the higher education systems of England and
Scotland. During their studies, the system is very similar, except in the UK,
students have to specialize in their mid-teens to choose a particular course of
study to apply to, whereas in Scotland, they can keep trying new things at
university if they want to. So this got me interested, looking at this pattern again,
in exploring.
2. Looking for a job? Highlight your ability, not your experience
People who work in jobs related to their major. make some jealous in
career ladder. Journalists studying journalism, engineers studying engineering.
In fact, these people are no longer the rules, but the exception. A 2010 study
found that only a quarter of college graduates work in fields related to their
degree. Graduating with a job with a different educational background makes
some parents disappointed with that.
Adaptability in the world of work requires that you can and must learn
everything from sales, marketing, strategy, even a little programming yourself.
After being rejected by several other companies and becoming frustrated.
Everyone knows of people who were initially ignored or ignored, but later
proved their critics wrong. The story followed by Brian Acton, an engineering
manager who was turned down by Twitter and Facebook before becoming a co-
founder of WhatsApp, a mobile messaging platform that will sell for 19 billion
dollars. The recruitment system established in the 20th century was
disappointing and resulted in the loss of people with extraordinary potential.
Advances in robotics and machine learning and changing the way we work,
automating routine tasks in many jobs while augmenting and strengthening
people in other jobs.
At this level, we should all hope to do work that we haven't done before
for the rest of our careers, what tools and strategies we need to identify the
future high performers. Expand the search to match the fields. If we just look for
talent in the same places as we always do - gifted programs, Ivy League schools,
 prestigious organizations - we will get the same results we always get. Inspired
by my own work experience, co-founded a recruiting platform called Headlight,
which gives candidates the opportunity to shine. Just as teams that have trials
and games have auditions, candidates should be asked to demonstrate their
skills before being hired. Our clients benefit from 85 years of employment
research, which shows that a sample of employment is one of the best predictors
of job success. Hire a data analyst, give them a spreadsheet of historical data and
ask for their key insights. If hiring a marketing manager, have them plan a launch
campaign for a new product. And if you're a candidate, don't wait for the
employer to ask. Look for ways to showcase your unique skills and abilities
beyond standard resumes and cover letters.
3. questions to uncover your passion and turn it into a career
Having a job that is paying enough to meet basic needs, bills and even
more to spend, assumes you will be happy, or, even better, be satisfied. And it
seemed unthinkable when I woke up and said that I would leave a job like that to
pursue a passion. And that's the dilemma of having a comfortable job, I'm living a
comfortable life, and people expect me to be fulfilled, but it's not. There is
something inside me that wants more. There is a mismatch between the things I
do every day and the things I really care about. Finding your passion is not easy.
Even for people with money and titles, they still struggle to identify their
passions. Talk about finding your passion and turning it into a career. Literally,
people say don't talk about passion until you've made enough money or at least
until you're ready to retire. For many of us, we have been led to believe that life
is a race for survival. We have been conditioned to see ourselves as survivors
who must do everything in our power to survive.

4. The little risks you can take to increase your luck

Most new ventures fail, and innovators and entrepreneurs alike need all
the luck they can get. Luck is defined as success or failure that seems to be
caused by chance. It seems like an opportunity because we rarely see all the
levers that go into making people lucky. But I have realized, by watching for so
long, that luck is rare in a lightning strike, isolated and dramatic. It's more like
the wind, blowing constantly. Sometimes it's calm, and sometimes it's blowing
hard, and sometimes it's coming from directions you couldn't even imagine.
The first thing you want to do is change your relationship with yourself.
Willing to take small risks that get out of your comfort zone. As a kid, do this all
the time. We must do want to learn to walk or talk or ride a bicycle or even
quantum mechanics. Demanding to get out of your comfort zone and take some
risks. The thing is, as we get older, we rarely do this. We kind of lock in on the
feeling of who we are and don't stretch anymore. Very quickly it became clear
that risk taking is not binary. There are intellectual risks and physical risks and
financial risks as well as emotional risks and social risks and ethical risks and
political risks. And once they do this, they compare their risk profile with others,
 and they quickly realize that they are all very different. take some risks that get
out of your comfort zone.
5. The real relationship between your age and your chance of success
Success isn't just about networking. There are so many other dimensions
to it. And one of the things we need to be successful, of course, is performance.
So, let's determine what is the difference between performance and success.
Well, performance is what you do: how fast you run, what kinds of paintings you
paint, what kinds of papers you publish. However, in the definition of work,
success is about what the community is concerned about what you do, from your
performance: How do you acknowledge it, and how does that reward you? In
other terms, your performance is about you, but your success is about all of us.
And this is a very important change for, because when defining success as the
collective measure that the community gives to, it becomes measurable, because
if in the community, there are many data points about it. But how to really start
exploring, realizing that performance and success are very, very different
animals when it comes to math problems. And let me illustrate. And every time
you can measure performance, see something very interesting; that is,
performance is limited. That is, there is no large variation in human
performance. It only varies over a narrow range, and we do need a chronometer.
6. The playful wonderland behind great inventions
In the history of innovation sometimes people find something because they
want to stay alive or feed their children or conquer neighboring villages. But
often times, new ideas come to the world just because it's fun. And here's the
really weird thing: many of those funny but seemingly reckless discoveries
ended up sparking important transformations in science, politics, and society. An
example of the most important invention in modern times is the programmable
computer. Now, the standard story is that computers are derived from military
technology, as many early computers were specially designed to decode wartime
codes or calculate the trajectory of rockets. But in fact, the origins of the modern
computer are far more fun, even musical, than you might think. Now,
conceptually, innovation is a big leap forward. The whole idea of hardware and
software became conceivable for the first time with this invention. And that very
powerful concept does not come to us as a means of war or conquest, or
necessity at all. It comes from the strange pleasure of watching the machine play
music. If you can program a machine to make pleasing sounds, why not program
it to weave fun colored patterns from fabric.
Creating a computer also requires other building blocks: a music box, a toy
robotic flute player, a harpsichord keyboard, colorful patterns woven into cloth,
and that's only a small part of the story. There is a long list of ideas and
technologies that are changing the world that are working: public museums,
rubber, probability theory, the insurance business, and more. Needs are not
always the mother of discovery. Pleasant states of mind are basically exploration,
looking for new possibilities in the world around us. And that search is why so
many experiences that start with simple pleasures and entertainment eventually
lead to profound breakthroughs.
