当你要确定某个事物可以接受的改善速度时，你要注意的是事物水平相对于改善速度的关系。我经常发现人们看不到这一点。他们说“事情正在改善”，但没有注意到事物的质量距离标准还有多远，以及其改善速度能否确保其在可接受的时间内超越标准。如果过去在考试中得三四十分的人，在几个月里成绩达到了50多分，说成绩在改善也是对的，但他的水平仍然很差。你生命中所有重要的东西都需要以适当的速度不断改善，超越标准，走向卓越。
When determining an acceptable rate of improvement for something, it is its level in relation to the rate of change that matters. I often see people lose sight of this. They say "it's getting better" without noticing how far below the bar it is and whether the rate of change will get it above the bar in an acceptable amount of time. If someone who has been getting grades of 30s and 40s on their tests raised their scores to 50s over the course of a few months it would be accurate to say that they are getting better, but they would still be woefully inadequate. Everything important in your life needs to be on a trajectory to be above the bar and headed toward excellent at an appropriate pace.
