Better the recovery process, better performance.More you practise the cycles of rest, the less you will need to take. Athletes are taught this as “interval training”.﻿

How to have the right attitude towards learning anything?

Learning “HOW TO LEARN

It is true and should be believed that ‘any concept or skill can be grasped and mastered incrementally. So, prefer to say things like<ul><li>I did well because I put in time</li><li>I should have worked harder at this</li></ul>To help their children, parents can say things like<ul><li>You are getting really good at reading, keep it up</li><li>It's ok, we just need to study a little harder and you will do great on the next maths test</li></ul>Teach children the “Mastery oriented response”, so that they can associate success with effort not anything else.

Grab the INCREMENTAL theory of intelligence

“The fields of learning and performance are an exploration of greyness - of the in-between. There is a careful balance of pushing yourself relentlessly, but not so hard that you melt down. Muscles and minds needs stretch to grow, but if stretched too thin, they’ll snap”<ul><li>Josh Waitzkin </li></ul>

<ol><li class="ql-align-center">What are the factors that differentiate the few, who make it to the top?</li><li class="ql-align-center">Since most people never achieve that lofty goal then what is the point of trying?</li></ol>

This belief is wrong that ‘skill is an ingrained and unalterable level of ability.’ So, don't use language like<ul><li>I am a good writer</li><li>I am bad at Music</li></ul>Also, parents should not set their children up for failure by telling them<ul><li>You are so good at reading</li><li>Maths is not your thing</li></ul>This is called “Learned helplessness orientation”.

Don't have ENTITY mindset

<ul><li>One phase of full throttle action</li><li>One phase of influx, broken down growth</li></ul>Most people refuse to invest in loss during the growth stages and as a result never upgrade their game.Sometimes you need to breakdown every thing in mind and start from ground zero to reconstruct the game and to reach to the next level. So you need to invest in loss sometimes.

Recurring cycle in the process of learning

Most of us don't know about how to learn the things, with what attitude we face the situation, which mindset is better you approach the next goal.

In his riveting new book, The Art of Learning, Waitzkin tells his remarkable story of personal achievement and shares the principles of learning and performance that have propelled him to the top—twice. Josh Waitzkin knows what it means to be at the top of his game. A public figure since winning his first National Chess Championship at the age of nine, Waitzkin was catapulted into a media whirlwind as a teenager when his father’s book Searching for Bobby Fischer was made into a major motion picture. After dominating the scholastic chess world for ten years, Waitzkin expanded his horizons, taking on the martial art Tai Chi Chuan and ultimately earning the title of World Champion. How was he able to reach the pinnacle of two disciplines that on the surface seem so different? “I’ve come to realize that what I am best at is not Tai Chi, and it is not chess,” he says. “What I am best at is the art of learning.” With a narrative that combines heart-stopping martial arts wars and tense chess face-offs with life lessons that speak to all of us, The Art of Learning takes readers through Waitzkin’s unique journey to excellence. He explains in clear detail how a well-thought-out, principled approach to learning is what separates success from failure. Waitzkin believes that achievement, even at the championship level, is a function of a lifestyle that fuels a creative, resilient growth process. Rather than focusing on climactic wins, Waitzkin reveals the inner workings of his everyday method, from systematically triggering intuitive breakthroughs, to honing techniques into states of remarkable potency, to mastering the art of performance psychology. Through his own example, Waitzkin explains how to embrace defeat and make mistakes work for you. Does your opponent make you angry? Waitzkin describes how to channel emotions into creative fuel. As he explains it, obstacles are not obstacles but challenges to overcome, to spur the growth process by turning weaknesses into strengths. He illustrates the exact routines that he has used in all of his competitions, whether mental or physical, so that you too can achieve your peak performance zone in any competitive or professional circumstance. In stories ranging from his early years taking on chess hustlers as a seven year old in New York City’s Washington Square Park, to dealing with the pressures of having a film made about his life, to International Chess Championships in India, Hungary, and Brazil, to gripping battles against powerhouse fighters in Taiwan in the Push Hands World Championships, The Art of Learning encapsulates an extraordinary competitor’s life lessons in a page-turning narrative.
