In life, each stage has things to do and distances that can be calculated.
You know a lot, but if you can't express it, it's as if you don't know it.
It's not about "what new things to learn," but "I have accumulated 20 years of experience, but I can't express it systematically or pass it on."
Verification Signals (count as valid if two or more are met):
· Never written experience into text
· Unable to explain my method in 10 minutes
· Experience is only in my head
Learning
This stage is most about learning externalization ability:
① Writing — turning thoughts into something that can be transmitted
② Teaching — making others able to learn
③ Structuring — organizing scattered experience into methods
Experience in the head is private, but when expressed, it becomes an asset. The most valuable action after 40 is to turn "I know" into "I can teach."
Be able to express experience clearly
Be able to teach others
Be able to create value
What to look at
Experience externalization output · Clarity of expression · Teachability
How to judge
Whether it has been written into text/made into a course; whether you can explain a set of methods
Health status
≥1 piece of externalization output · Be able to explain 1 set of methods · Someone has learned
Think "I know is enough" — If you can't express it, you can't pass it on
Wait until I'm ready to write — You'll never be ready
Write too professionally — Outsiders can't understand, it's as if you didn't write
Only think, not do — Collect a bunch of methodologies
Scared of being learned by others — Teaching out is the only way to have influence
Write 300 words a week, record a method or a lesson
Organize a complete method into 5 steps
Tell it to a layman and see if they can understand
Modify according to feedback until others can repeat it
Remember: What can be repeated is truly understood
