The rule of 10,000 hours

I've always been fascinated by the extraordinary people, and what makes them who they are. He was born talent? It is the innate ability? And 'genius? There is something that the world experts and geniuses apart from ordinary people, ordinary people can not reach, no matter how hard they try?

A few months ago, I went to the library and there was a book that caught my attention, even if only in a black and white cover with a simple bronze star at the top rightcorner. It 'was the title that you have heard before, called outliers - Success Story - by Malcolm Gladwell. Before going to sleep yesterday, the book on my desk and I flipped through it, reading one of the most insightful chapters that I have a call while the rule of 10,000 hours.

The chapter describes the process of travel as an expert in the world. An expert in the world can be generally defined as someone who is well known for itsthe upper class, the best run in a way that separates them for all, especially in an age that no one expected.

For example, he talks about how the study was to compare the average student violinist, violist good students, to the best students of violin - students who had the potential to be world-class soloists.

At age five, the students practiced around 2-3 hours a week, about 20-30 minutes a day. Theage of eight, while the average for good students are always around the same pace, the best started to excel, playing six hours a week at the age of nine years, about 45 minutes a day. Then they started playing 8 hours a week, twelve years, about 1 hour, 16 hours a week every two years, about two hours a day, and the age of twenty, have been saving 30 hours per week, about 4 hours a day, just playing a musical instrument.

It's going to talk about the Beatles, perhaps one ofthe best rock bands in history. It tells the story of how, before coming to the United States that have already played together for seven years. This was a period where they started as a band in high school in a popular band to the public. But it all started with a fortunate opportunity through connections to random people who put them there to play in London for companies in Germany strips.

For example, it was in Liverpool, London, the Beatles or just aone-hour sessions for the public, but in Hamburg, Germany, had much to play for 8 hour sessions, seven nights a week. They are usually around 5-6 hours a night, but on stage every day. Before going to America, had already lived about twelve hundred times - more than many bands on stage in their careers.

The chapter continues to present the richest person on the planet today - Bill Gates. How did a software program tothat almost every person on the planet who owns a computer - Windows - is a form of genius work, but an incredible amount of work to go at that point.

Bill had the opportunity to learn programming on a system of computer time-sharing in class 8th, something most Americans do Have access to did here in this moment that around Was the 1960's later, it was Invented for use.

During a period of seven months, as high school student, Bill Averageeight hours a day, seven days a week in the computer room. Everything he did was, the program and the program was his obsession. There was the night went on the weekend, and it would be a rare occasion when he and his friends for 20 or 30 hours per week.

Between 8 th grade and the end of his high school years, these five years experience with planning for a terminal time-sharing his experience working in offices C-Cubed, who had experienceWorking at a computer center at the University of Washington for the ISI (Information Sciences Inc.) operating at 3.6 times in the morning, and had experience working for a technology company TRW as a programmer.

People who feel that those who deliberately drops Harvard was crazy, but people who know exactly what kind of decisions they are doing. They know something that millions of people do not know. Then, when Bill retired as Harvard andsophomore, had been planning nonstop for seven years. Saying that he does not trust his own software company to launch his passion all my life, instead of studying in school, something that would be crazy not to do for a person like him.

And what is best violinists in the world, the Beatles and Bill Gates have in common? Yes, I'm the best at what they do, are famous, and most of the time, they are rich, but for a reason. These people spend hoursOperating from an early age, and when in the early twenties, who have accumulated a period of time people That the practice never even closer - 10,000 hours.

This is the number that experts say is necessary to achieve true mastery. And all these people have used a happy opportunity for them to be or create their own opportunities through endless practice - something that at first glance you will not know untilhave shown their talent.

What can we learn the 10,000 rule? It teaches us that if we are the best at something, on top of our game, not a special talent. It 'about the introduction of hours until the practice is something that only a part of us.

And even though we are in an age when we think it is too late, it's really never too old to learn something new or become very good at something. All the people began to take overthirty minutes a day to do something, which increased to an hour a day, then two hours a day, and so on.

Composers such as Mozart, for legendary players such as Bobby Fischer, did not begin as a brilliant genius. They took about 10 years 10,000 hours to become what they are. Studies show that there is no evidence that "genius" Most of us think are born with a spell, innate talent. I'm just a lot of practice, much, much more than anyone does the same thingthing.

A normal person can see when someone is an expert "out of range", but one expert sees an ordinary person, and knows exactly how much work they are put where they are. So I guess the question is, who wants "the best", who wants to be a guru, a teacher, an expert on high, are willing to seriously the commitment, work and training, all this accumulated approximately 10,000 hours of practice Above the best,genius next?
