Practice makes perfect confidence
練習造就十足的自信
Work and repetition can change your confidence game, literally. It starts not with a belief that you are naturally good or bad at something, but rather a belief that you can learn. Chrystal Langhorne is one of the top players for the Washington Mystics basketball team. To watch her on the court today is to see a dazzling blur of athletic prowess and confident moves. Her first year in the league though, she told us, she thought about quitting basketball. Her game was just not coming together. She was in Lithuania for the winter, and decided to focus, in a big way, on her shooting style. She became single-minded, spending hours every day, shooting, and completely remaking her style. What she accomplished was remarkable. She’s been an all-star player every year since, and she says that the work, the history of what she accomplished, now lives in her head. With each difficult shot she prepares to take, she tells herself: “I know I can do this. I worked on it.”
努力以及反復努力能夠真正改變你樹立信心的過程。它并不從樹立一種“你天生就善于或不善于做某件事情”的信念開始，而是要你相信自己擁有學習的潛能。克里斯蒂爾·蘭霍恩是華盛頓神秘隊最好的球員之一。她在球場上的表現(xiàn)簡直就是運動員的精湛技術和自信心的完美結合。而她告訴我們，她在聯(lián)盟的第一年她幾乎想要放棄籃球。她打球完全不在狀態(tài)。在立陶宛度過了冬天以后，她決定開始徹底轉向于射籃風格的練習。她變得專心致志，每天要花好幾個小時練習射籃，并最后完全重塑了自己的投球風格。她的成就令人側目。自那以后，她每年都是全明星球員，她說，她所成就的事業(yè)，或者創(chuàng)造的歷史，至今仍歷歷在目。每一次在她準備射籃的時候，無論有多困難，她都會告訴自己：“我知道我能行，我已經努力過了。”
