第7章概述 天才之路
只要遵循正确的培养方式，父母是可以把孩子培养成天才的。虽然我们并不打算培养天才，但是了解天才是如何成就的可以帮助我们更好的实现自己的目标。
成为天才的四个阶段及特点：
另外注意几点：
1. 童子功有优势，成年人也可以通过练习来提高技能，但是要认识到成年人练习的局限性：身体和大脑的适应性成年人不如未成年人，特别是身体的适应性，但是大脑的适应性还是蛮强的。
However, expertise in some fields is simply unattainable for anyone who doesn’t start training as a child. Understanding such limitations can help you decide which areas you might wish to pursue.
The body and the brain both are more adaptable during childhood and adolescence than they are in adulthood, but in most ways they remain adaptable to some degree throughout life. The relationship between age and adaptability varies considerably according to exactly which characteristic you have in mind, and the patterns are very different for mental adaptations than for physical ones.
2. 成年人的练习方法跟未成年人不同，需要更加努力
3. 天才之所以是天才，他们比一般人更努力

感悟
我们都对天才特别感兴趣，但是大部分人是成不了天才的，特别是已经一把年纪了，但是如果要修习某个技能，还是有参考价值的。对于父母来说，不一定要把孩子培养成天才，但是如果孩子在某方面有兴趣，父母可以正确加以培养。
