Ask For Feedback from a Professional

詢問專業(yè)人士的意見

You might have spent months or years honing your skills in a particular area, but you're still worried that you're not good enough.

你也許花了很長時間鉆研你在某一方面的技術(shù)，但你依然擔憂你做得不夠好。

Find someone professional, and ask them for their opinions. If you're hoping to write a best-selling novel, hire a writing coach or editor. If you're planning to start up a restaurant, ask for advice from someone who's done the same thing. You'll find out that you're doing a lot of things right (and you'll also get a few tips on how to make improvements).

于是，找專業(yè)人士，問問他們的意見吧。如果你希望寫一部熱銷的小說，就找個寫作指導或者編輯。如果你想開個飯館，你可以向開飯館的人請教。你會發(fā)現(xiàn)你做的很多事情都是正確的（當然，你也會得到一些啟示來提升自己。）

Consider hiring a coach, or joining a small group or class. You could look locally or online.

考慮下找個指導員，或者加入一個小組或者班級。你可以從附近或者網(wǎng)上找找看。
