Ask For Feedback from a Professional

询问专业人士的意见

You might have spent months or years honing your skills in a particular area, but you're still worried that you’re not good enough.

你也许花了很长时间钻研你在某一方面的技术，但你依然担忧你做得不够好。

Find someone professional, and ask them for their opinion. If you’re hoping to write a best-selling novel, hire a writing coach or editor. If you’re planning to start up a restaurant, ask for advice from someone who’s done the same thing. You'll find out that you’re doing a lot of things right (and you’ll also get a few tips on how to make improvements).

于是，找专业人士，问问他们的意见吧。如果你希望写一部热销的小说，就找个写作指导或者编辑。如果你想开个饭馆，你可以向开饭馆的人请教。你会发现你做的很多事情都是正确的（当然，你也会得到一些启示来提升自己。）

Do it: Consider hiring a coach, or joining a small group or class. You could look locally or online.

这样做：考虑下找个指导员，或者加入一个小组或者班级。你可以从附近或者网上找找看。
