Deliberately cultivated genius

The ending of the movie is of course everyone's happy, but to tell the truth, the ending of everyone's happiness is so boring, and it is not surprising to watch this movie, except for Hepburn's harsh accent in the early stage and the loud songs and dances. The Lord has no other special sense. In retrospect, the blogger's focus is another question: how did Eliza do it? From a vulgar flower girl to an elegant lady in just six months? The professor in the show is so confident and arrogant that we believe and know that he can completely transform Eliza. Specifically? How to do it? Therefore, I read another book on training thinking: "Deliberate Practice", and accidentally found that the concepts, methods and methods mentioned in this book are exactly the same as the training method of Professor Seggens. Next, the blogger combined the movie "My Fair Lady" and the book "Deliberate Practice" to write the following movie reviews The luxurious crowd accosted everywhere, hoping to sell some flowers in the evening to earn dinner money. Eliza's vulgar voice caught the attention of linguist Professor Higgins. The professor talked with another linguist, Colonel Pickering, about the impact of standard language on life, and casually exaggerated: she speaks broken English, can make her impoverished forever. In six months I could have her at the embassy ball like a duchess, and I could have her as a lady's valet or a shop clerk. Liangzi, that's it. An alcoholic father, a stepmother who has never appeared in the picture, Eliza is an old girl who lives a lonely and poor life. She is very happy and wants to change herself. The words of Professor Higgins that rainy night made her see the dawn of the direction of her efforts. Eliza packs up and visits the professor. At this time, the professor was at home, listening to the waveform recording on the gramophone and chatting with his friend Colonel Pickering. Mrs. Pierce, the housekeeper, came in and asked for instructions: "There is a young girl outside who wants to see you" "What kind of girl is she?" "She looks very vulgar. ' replied the housekeeper's wife, and the professor couldn't remember for a moment. The housekeeper Mrs. Pierce added: "I was just thinking that you might want her to record." The professor frowned, feeling that something was wrong, and it was time to come... Second, deliberately practice Eliza's poverty, Insecure, but extremely intelligent and self-aware. At the entrance of the theater, when she approached Colonel Pickering to sell flowers, she screamed and made noise as the professor hid behind a pillar to record her voice: "Are you going to send me to the police station? I haven't done anything bad, I Just a poor girl!" (The professor is actually just recording your voice....)

Eliza: If you're a real gentleman, I think you should ask me to sit down. Didn't I tell you I'd take care of your business?

Henry Higgins: Should we ask this little thing to sit down, or should we throw her out the window?

Eliza: I'm not a thing, I'm the lady who came to pay you.

Conflict due to misunderstanding of language usage:

"I'm a serious girl, and you can't treat me like that!" (Elysa's polite request for advice gradually turned into a farce.) As a professor of celibacy said: "When a woman is friends with me, she must Gets jealous, harsh, suspicious, and annoying. When I'm friends with a woman, I get selfish and domineering too, so I'd rather be a bachelor." The professor looked at the rowdy Eliza, the expression on her face. The expression is this: so annoying a girl. The heart is like this: just like you, when you speak, it is like a cat whose tail has been stomped on, the ghost has bad thoughts about you, and it is not bad that you are not scared to go crazy.

"Do you want chocolate, Eliza?" The professor wanted to end the conversation and covered Eliza's mouth with chocolate.

You're going to be here for six months and learn how to speak beautifully like a lady in a flower shop. If you behave well, you'll have your own bedroom, lots of goodies, and you'll have money to buy chocolates and take a taxi out the door. But if you're naughty and lazy, you'll have to sleep with cockroaches in the kitchen and Mrs. Pierce will spank you with a broom. After six months, you will be taken to Buckingham Palace in a carriage, and if the king finds out that you are not a lady, the police will take you to the castle in London and chop your head off as a warning to those who pretend to be ladies. Flower girl. If your sister is spotted by the king, you'll get six or seven pounds and become a clerk. If you refuse such a good offer, you are the most ruthless bad girl, and the angels will cry for you.

The professor and the colonel made a bet that it was impossible for a person to make a complete makeover from a flower girl to a lady in just six months. The stinky and arrogant professor is super confident. He feels that as long as he is trained, he can do it 100%.

Let's take a look at what deliberate practice is:

Exercises generally fall into two categories:

1 Deliberate practice = purposeful practice, which includes focus on practicing things, internal and external feedback, and how to get out of the comfort zone when encountering problems during the bottleneck period of practice. 2 naive practice = doing something repeatedly and expecting that repetition alone will improve performance and level. How to cultivate interest? 1 Intentional guidance: Eliza knows that only by changing her vulgar speech and appearance will she have the opportunity to go to work where standard language is required. 2. Get serious: At the beginning of the training, Mrs. Pierce, the housekeeper, cleaned Eliza's body, styled her hair, put on new clothes, and transformed her into a lady in the fastest way possible. 3 Self-fueling: Technical support: use the machine to record the pitch and correct the wrong pronunciation; start practicing from the basic ABCDEFG phonetic symbol, look in the mirror to see if the mouth roll is correct; practice the consonant breath against the metronome, and the breath is accurate When the breath is wrong, the flame will rise, and when the breath is wrong, the flame will go out. Emotional support: The mean-spirited Professor Higgins helps Eliza with his own actions. On the other hand, he is academically rigorous, teaches patience, is meticulous, and forgets to sleep and eat. 4 Go all in: Most of the content overlaps 3. One night, Eliza, who had been trained to be silent, suddenly came to her senses and said in standard language what she had practiced at least fifty times before going to bed: "Most of the rain in Spain falls on the plains." "In Hart Ford, Hereford and Hampshire, no hurricane."

First effect. The first round of the test: At the horse race, Eliza chatted with everyone about the regular weather conversations that had been practiced, but she couldn't hold back the chatterbox, and talked to the young Dover about "My aunt was killed~" language slang, so far , we know the professor won. The deliberate practice method sorted out by the blogger, the professor has used less than half, and it has been successful. 3. Habits and understanding are the precursors and carriers of love. The second round of the test: Eliza was more dignified and graceful at the Queen's party. She was invited by the prince to dance, and she concealed herself from another linguist who specializes in debunking others. eyes, complete the task successfully.

The professor was as happy as a victorious rooster, almost crowing. He slumped on the sofa and mocked the junior for being an idiot, boasting that Eliza was his best work. Vulgarity and elegance are two pronouns on both ends of the scale, Colonel Pickering treats Eliza as a human being with courtesy and respect, while the professor treats her as an object experiment, never considering her feelings, even if she has been The transformation is complete and becomes a lady.

"Very easy. If it wasn't for Colonel Pickering, I would never have known how ladies and gentlemen were treated. He always told me what he thought and felt about me, as if I were a woman of status and not An ordinary flower girl. You see, Mrs. Higgins, apart from those characteristics one can learn, the difference between a lady and a flower girl is not how she behaves, but how she is treated. For Higgins I'll always be a regular flower girl for Professor Kings because he always treats me like a regular flower girl and he never changes. But I know for Colonel Pickering I will always be a lady because he always treats me like a lady, and he will never change."

Eliza couldn't laugh at the happy people, and when the crowd dispersed, she lowered her head and wept. With hatred, he hit the sofa with his fist, covered his mouth and tried not to let himself cry out and lose his temper. Before the change, she had been sitting on the ground screaming and crying, but now, her training and upbringing did not allow her to do so.

The two had a big fight, and Eliza ran away.

"Everything I do is not to get in a car and get dressed, but to get along well, I am here because I care about you, not because I want you to woo me, not because I forgot the difference between us, but because I want to friendship."

The blogger does not think that the professor used the Stockholm-style psychology to Eliza, and created the perfect woman in his mind to coerce Eliza. It can be seen from the same attitude before and after his training.

After two rounds of bitter debate, the professor was so angry that he was out of breath. He was distressed by some kind of discovery, vaguely aware of his B-side in the mirror-like counterpart. The professor discovered that he had developed an affection for Eliza and had cultivated an irreplaceable habit with his own hands.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it, I'm used to seeing her every day, it's her who makes the day start, I'm used to her whistling from morning to night, her smile, frowning, happy, sad, it's become my nature Part of the need is like exhaling and inhaling. I was on my own before we met, and of course I could go back to how I was, but I'm used to her look, her voice, and her face."

Before we have no time line, emotional line, and actual action line, which cultivate a basic sense of connection, we talk about understanding each other. This is not understanding, it is just an unrestrained superficiality. After all, habit and understanding are the precursors and carriers of love.


There is no natural genius. Most geniuses are the product of deliberate guidance and practice. When you find infinite possibilities, you can only achieve results after a certain amount of practice. You will also think about those things that seemed impossible before. NO, is it possible to have no confidence in what you have always wanted? Age is never an issue.

The exploration of possibility makes us shine somewhere in the long river of lonely life.

My Fair Lady quotes

  • Mrs. Higgins: How ever did you learn good manners with my son around?

    Eliza Doolittle: It was very difficult. I should never have known how ladies and gentlemen really behaved, if it hadn't been for Colonel Pickering. He always showed what he thought and felt about me as if I were something better than a common flower girl. You see, Mrs. Higgins, apart from the things one can pick up, the difference between a lady and a flower girl is not how she behaves, but how she is treated. I shall always be a common flower girl to Professor Higgins, because he always treats me like a common flower girl, and always will. But I know that I shall always be a lady to Colonel Pickering, because he always treats me like a lady, and always will.

  • Professor Henry Higgins: The question is not whether I've treated you rudely but whether you've ever heard me treat anyone else better.
