The external view of a person practicing some skill is magical to audience.
Normal Skills of some people seem as Magical Skills to others
You may recall when you saw that guy at the restaurant who could simply memorize all your orders including side dishes, salads and soap for all your family members’ dinner.
How did you feel when you saw him taking the order and repeat it once after you say it and hopefully you get what you actually ordered?
You sure had that same feeling many times when you have watched other people at different jobs and passions. Pilots, surgeons, clerks, accountants, tennis players and many other examples.
You may look magical to others too
Even you may have been looked upon by others who may see you for the first time and watch what you do for living or as a hobby.
They may not believe what they see with their eyes at first, but after they are acquainted with what you do or after you explain the details for them they get the understanding that it’s completely normal.
They would think that you are only doing your job or your hobby.
That way of thinking can happen to you at any field of practice you may notice for the first time. Also you may come to meet people who do simple or ordinary jobs but they do it with extraordinary set of skills.
Niccolò Paganini.
I’ve been always thinking of this way of magical-like practice of ordinary people at their ordinary jobs. But the idea was concluded in my mind when I came across the story of Niccolò Paganini.
The story told about him can be thought of as purely magic even for the people who have seen it with their own eyes at the time it happened.
In one event, he was performing and three strings failed under pressure of his hand. Paganini could play the violin with only one string as good plays it with the four strings.
That was the famous story that all people know it. The infamous story has been told by Paganini himself that he has been asked to perform on a violin with only one string.
This gave him the ability to deeply practice something that looked completely magical to people having no knowledge about his practice.
The only reasonable explanation we all have is that he must have had this innate talent that extraordinary people only have.
Magic for the rest of us
I believe that every one of us – the humans – has that kind of secret and so specific talent in one of the skills and he can reach the world top expert level if only he could invest time and devotion into it.
Now it's your turn to just look for the thing you can convince yourself that you are gifted in and then start to devote the time and effort to it.

Today I read about László Polgár Experiment in the book Peak from Andres Ericsson.
He wrote about László Polgár Experiment and how he made this historical experiment of making his daughters chess geniuses.
He wrote about his three daughters and how he raised them to be the women in the world in the field of Chess.
Also I made today a very useful and productive experiment with my kids.
I wanted to entertain them, spend some valuable time with them, educate them and to create some good content to be a book for kids.
I started building some simple electronic circuits with them that showed them the principles of electricity and electronics. They loved it very much.
I felt like doing something that was both interesting for me and joyful for them.
I always like doing such things with my kids that keep them entertained while spend good time with them without feeling like anything bored.

Today I continued reading the book I started Peak for the expert professional Andres Ericsson.
New year's Resolutions Effect
The book talks about the New year's Resolutions Effect. It's the effect that makes gyms crowded with new people hoping to start a new year with a new hobby that may change their lives forever. They actually want to have that sportive lifestyle to keep their bodies fit.
That effect only lasts during the first few days in January. Most of those people return to their old way of living. They just let life drive them as it gets.
Achievers Don't Let Themselves waiting for inspiration or casual motivation
But what I've learned about achievers is that they don't let life get into their ways. Top performers don't just let their productive times come by accident. They don't rely on inspiration and waves of casual motivation.
Achievers have consistent scheduled of productive times.
I've noticed that when I commit myself to a timed schedule that I can keep for many days I can get many visits to my blogs and then many sales of my books.
I don't know and sure I cannot tell if it's only a coincidence that I feel real. But I can find many sales and blog views after I keep my posting schedule for some days.
The Brain Loves Causality and Feedback
I know that my brain does. And I'm sure that most people's brains do too. If only you can find some metrics of what can work better for you and get the results that you need. So you can just stick to them.
That's all for today. My advise for you is that you must not have this New year's Resolutions Effect.
