Jerry Seinfeld, the famous comedian , gave a surprisingly effective advice on how to master the skill you're most interested in (in his case, being a better comic).

著名喜剧演员杰瑞·宋飞给出了一个极其有效的方法，教你如何掌握一项你最感兴趣的技能（对他来说就是做一名喜剧演员）。

He said that in order to be a better comic, he had to create better jokes, and in order to create better jokes, he had to write daily.

他说为了成为一名更优秀的喜剧演员，他要创作出更好的笑话，而为了创作出更好的笑话，他每天都要写东西。

That's a pretty common advice you'd find anywhere. The thing which stood out was the way he implemented this routine.

这个建议很普通，随处可见，但其特别之处在于他践行的方式。

He asks people to get a big calendar and a marker. Each day - after you complete your task of writing - simply cross that date on the calendar. After a few days, you'll have a chain for yourself which you'd not want to break. Your only job will be to not break the chain!

他让人们准备一个大日历和一个大标识，每天完成写作任务后就把日历上那一天圈上，几天后你就对自己形成了约束，并乐在其中。你唯一需要做的就是不要打破这一束缚！

Don't break the chain!

千万不要打破这一束缚！

Practice it for 10,000 hours

练习1万小时

The key denominator is actually hard work. A lot of it, in fact. About 10,000 hours of it. That’s roughly 3 hours every day, for 10 consecutive years, before any one of them began to be defined as the ‘expert’ in their field.

关键要素其实是努力付出，真的是需要大量付出，大约需要练习这个技能1万小时，也就是每天约3小时，持续10年，然后你就能在所学领域开始被称为“专家”了。

Consider it as a leveling-up abilities:

可以把这个看作是能力升级的过程：

●at 1 hour, you know some basics

●练习1小时以后，你了解一些基础知识

●at 10 hours, you have a pretty good grasp of the basics

●练习10小时以后，你熟练掌握了这些基础知识

●at 100 hours, you are fairly expert

●练习100小时以后，你很专业了

●at 1000 hours, you are an experienced expert

●练习1000小时以后，你成了有经验的专家

●at 10000 hours, you are a master

●练习10000小时以后，你就成大师了
