It is tempting to ascribe the most outstanding achievements and discoveries in history to inborn talent, exclusive to only a handful of gifted individuals. Nevertheless, such feats are convincingly secondary to the potential for mastery-something we all share. Many studies demonstrate phenomena, such as perceptual learning, that corroborate a human's potential for mastery. This mutual power latently resides in the mind and needs to be turned on and exercised with patience and tenacity in order to reap its benefits. The potential for mastery when reached, not inborn talent, will enable oral and maxillofacial surgeons to innovate and move the field forward.
人们往往倾向于将历史上最杰出的成就和发现归功于天赋,认为只有少数有天赋的个体才具备。然而,与我们都拥有的掌握技能的潜力相比,这些成就显然是次要的。许多研究都证明了诸如感知学习等现象,证实了人类掌握技能的潜力。这种内在的潜力潜藏在我们的头脑中,需要耐心和毅力去开启并运用它,以便从中受益。掌握技能的潜力一旦实现,而非天赋,将使口腔颌面外科医生能够进行创新并推动该领域向前发展。
