Pause, Reflect, See How Well it Did 停下来，反思一下，看看它做得有多好
纳瓦尔：我们过去谈到如何“在你所做的事情上成为世界上最优秀的,不断重新定义（修正、调整）你所做的事情，直到这成为真的(事实)。Akira用它创作了一首歌:.Akira the Don，上帝保佑他。我认为这是绝对正确的，你想在你所做的事情上成为世界上最好的，但要不断重新定义（修正、调整）你所做的事情，直到它成为现实。重新定义的唯一方法是通过不断迭代，通过实践。所以，你需要那根胡萝卜，你需要那面旗帜。
Naval:We talked about in the past how “Become the best in the world at what you do. Keep redefining what you do until this is true.” And Akira made asongout of it.Akira the Don, God bless him. And I think that’s absolutely true. You want to be the best in the world at what you do, but keep redefining what you do until that’s true. The only way that redefining is going to work is through the process of iteration, through doing. So, you need that carrot, you need that flag.
你需要最后的奖励来激励你继续做，你需要迭代。迭代并不意味着重复，迭代不是机械的。这不是 10,000 小时，而是 10,000 次迭代。这不是花费的时间，这是循环学习。迭代的意思是你做某件事，然后停下来，暂停下来，反思。
You need that reward at the end to pull you forward into doing, and you need to iterate. And iterate does not mean repetition. Iterate is not mechanical. It’s not 10,000 hours, it’s 10,000 iterations. It’s not time spent. It’s learning loops. And what iteration means is you do something and then you stop and you pause and you reflect.
反思会看到做的好或不好，然后你进行调整，然后你尝试其他方法，然后你停下来，反思，看看它做得怎么样。然后你改变它，你尝试其他事情，这就是迭代的过程，也是学习的过程，所有学习过程都是这样的。
You see how well that worked or did not work. Then you change it. Then you try something else. Then you pause, reflect, see how well it did. Then you change it and you try something else. And that’s the process of iteration, and that’s the process of learning. And all learning systems work this way.
所以进化是不断迭代、有突变、有复制，然后有选择。你删掉了那些不起作用的东西，在技术和发明中也是如此，你将进行创新，你将创造一项新技术，然后你尝试在市场上衡量：要么生存，要么被淘汰。
So evolution is iteration where there’s mutation, there’s replication, and then there’s selection. You cut out the stuff that didn’t work. This is true in technology and invention where you’ll innovate, you’ll create a new technology and then you’ll try to scale it and either survive in the marketplace or it’ll get cut out.
正如大卫·多伊奇（David Deutsch）在寻找好的解释时所谈到的那样，这是真的。你做出一个猜想，这个猜想会受到批评，然后不起作用的东西就会被淘汰掉，这才是真正的科学方法。这一切都是为了找到对自己来说顺势而为（顺应天性）的东西，并通过在竞技场上生活、高度能动性、迭代过程来做到这一点，直到你弄清楚它，然后你就是世界上做这件事情做得最好的，这仅仅是做你自己。
This is true as David Deutsch talks about in the search for good explanations. You make a conjecture, that conjecture is subject to criticism, and then the stuff that doesn’t work is weeded out. And this is the true scientific method. It is all about finding what is natural for yourself and doing it by living life in the arena, high agency, process of iteration until you figure it out and then you are the best of the world at it, and it is just being yourself.
马丽：计划、行动、反思，在1万小时定律中，不是单纯地重复某一件事，而是在定了一个目标后，进行围绕目标的计划，去做、去行动，放到社会、大自然中去尝试，然后阶段反思，如每日反思、每周周检视、每月复盘、每季度回顾，在这些过程中不断修正、调整、升级目标、计划、行为、行动，取其精华去其糟粕，社会是最好的照妖镜，不断地循环反复、迭代，最终找到顺应自己天性、社会&自然天道的事情，更得心应手、手到擒来，更容易进入心流并能坚持出成绩并收到正反馈，最终在成为你自己同时收获了社会的价值和认同--你就是做这件事做得最好的人。
If you want a thing bad enough
To go out and fight for it
Work day and night for it
Give up your time and your peace
And your sleep for it
if only desire of it
Makes you quite mad enough
Never to tire of it
