Oneof the funniest things I ever did during my college career was take a film class specifically about superhero movies. I took a class called The Biology of Hope and Belief, a class for Star Trek nerds to learn about fictional languages, and although those were funny in concept, they were miserable in execution. The Superhero Film class was actually a hoot, and I learned a lot about this genre that I previously knew practically nothing about.
X-Men were some of my favorite heroes we covered because their story of found family in a world that doesn't understand them is so human and relatable. They can serve as allegories for so many different kinds of people, and I find the concept of a mutant school extremely compelling. I also like that Professor X is bald. I don't know; if you can tell that I don't know much about the X-Men, you win this round! Enjoy your X-Men memes that you surely understand more than I do.

Gladwell uses several examples in Outliers when introducing this rule: one is the research done by Ericsson that focused on violin students at a music academy in Berlin. The study found that the most accomplished of the students had put in 10,000 hours by the time they turned 20. Gladwell also estimates that the Beatles put in 10,000 hours of practice playing in Hamburg in the early 1960s, and that Bill Gates put in 10,000 hours of programming work before founding Microsoft. Hence the 10,000 hour rule was born: put in your 10,000 hours of practice, and become an expert in a given field. Pretty easy, right?
The age at which someone gets involved in an activity seems to play a role in their ability to achieve mastery. As with language learning, there may be a window during childhood when specific, complex skills are most easily acquired. Cognitive psychologists Fernand Gobet and Guillermo Campitelli found that chess players who started early reached higher skills levels as adults than those who started later, even after taking into account differences in deliberate practice hours.
This is probably just the article some people were looking for to not develop a training, or study routine. The fact is if you engage in anything consistently with focused study, you will master quite a few skills in way under 10,000 hours, some may take more, but the simple act of tracking your progress and maintaining consistency has likely lead a lot of people attaining some degree of proficiency that they otherwise would not have achieved.
From a neurological perspective, there appears to be no coincidence between what the 10,000 hour rule expresses and the fact that the fine motor skills needed to achieve a level of mastery (at least in music) are gained only after many, many hours of persistent, constant practicing.
While reading the article and formulating an opinion of partial agreeance, we do need to consider some of the conclusions are not equal. In life our individualism is a key to the ability of mastering any set task. There are natural abilities and trained abilities. I believe that someone that has a natural ability to complete tasks that involve motor skills have a far greater chance to master tasks that involve physical activities, assembly, and controlled dis-assembly tasks. That same skill set my not be as adapt to complete intellectual or formulated tasks. On the flip side someone that has the natural ability to perform intellectual and/or formulated tasks may not be as adaptive to manual tasks. In either case training is a key propulsion factor that needs to be entered into the equation. As a individual learns based on the experience of another the time that the trainer has established to master any given task must be added to the overall time that it takes the training individual to absorb those skill sets. If we look at natural skill sets, time with a master of that skill set to train, and the skill set in practice, I believe the number of hours will be much more true and closer to the 10,000 hours of the rule. Or maybe the 10,000 hour rule needs to be changed to the 10,000 hour average. 10,000 experiments will lend itself to inconclusive hard results but establish itself to the law of averages. In individualism, passion, training, self-motivation and drive, or the lack there/of must be taken into consideration and be clocked. An individual that is passionate about something will not resist learning the skill to mastery but embrace it, on the other hand an individual that is not as passionate about something and resists the work that it takes to master a skill will under most circumstances take longer to acquire the desired end result. In this case as well as any other case where a RULE is established there will always be individuals that thrive on the challenge to prove the RULE wrong, inconclusive, or remove merit from the rule.
With this new name and definition it clarifies that it is 10,000 hours of deliberate practice, just a rough estimate to use as a guideline, and it could take you more or less time to sufficiently master a skill.
10,000 hours of deliberate practice. Jay Sea: You said it all. Deliberate practice involves being smart about it; learning from mentors and coaches. This makes each hour a huge difference from someone waisting the hours doing what he can be taught in minutes.
We should be hesitant to accept any study that suggests a biological connection between performance and genetics. There are plenty of known criticisms regarding studies involving twins, not the least of which is that parents can, have, and will continue to mix up their identical twin children. This muddies the water when trying to separate out a nature/nurture argument.
I could just as easily come to the conclusion that because identical twins are treated more equally than fraternal twins, their learning outcomes will be more similar than the outcomes of fraternal twins.
Sooo we just continue to accept errors, misinformation, and even outright deceit without so much as pointing out the incident to the individual/perpetrator? For what reason? I never bought into the 10K rule likening it to more of a belief like karma, salvation, The Pareto Principle, and other alleged unscientifiec rules.
Adrian Smith took up the guitar at 15 in 1972. He joined Iron Maiden in 1980. You also have no idea how many hours any professional has played. Almost none kept a log of actual hours played. Sorry. No facts and wrong facts.
Great article. There are probably still other factors that can change practice time: sleep quality is important to consolidate what you learnt during the day. And probably physical activity has also an influence on how your brain retains skills, though I am not certain about the scientific evidence out there. Then there is of course if you feel good emotionally about what you are doing, is it you who wants to play chess or is it your parents who pushed you into this?
Malcolm wrote a piece of literature to inspire people. Who cares if 10,000 is correct or not? The point is, we need to start somewhere, grow, challenge ourselves, and just to learn something new. I believe in learning to work towards something of interest or something that comes naturally first, and then spend your life doing it. When you get older help children advance and be better than you. That is evolution.
Yes, there is more involved in becoming a master than just the hours spent. Time is not the only element, but time is a concept idea most can grasp. Life is not information life is turning human capability into ability, and to do that, it requires practice and then commits to doing ongoing work to achieve success. My question is_, Why not spend 10,000 hours? If you spend 2 hours a day practicing, something, and progress each year, you will gain close to fourteen years of experience. The rewards will be great whether or not to achieve mastery. One thing I would guarantee, is anyway who applies themselves to 10,000 hours of progressive practice will become GOOD at whatever they choose to do. Work to produce results. If you have an interest, pursue it. You may not reach your goal, but you will gain the experience attaining results that will demonstrate something more than where you will end up if you do nothing.
I found the 10,000 hour rule to be very motivating to practice guitar.
After doing the math, I started to practice 8 to 12 hours a day for a couple years straight. The improvement was steady.
When I ran out of ways to improve on something, I would naturally find something else to work on. After I hit a total of 10,000 hours, I reduced my practice to an hour or two a day, and I have continued to improve.
I believe that everyone progresses at their own rate, just like the original violin study showed with the total hours being an average. However, if the 10,000 hour meme motivates some people to practice, then why not continue to spread the idea?
This article is bogus. The actual paper never stated that 10K hours can make you an expert. It states that SOME people whom have mastered their craft did so with an estimate Xhrs per day x Xdays per week x Xweeks per yr x Xyears ALONG WITH CONSTANT FEEDBACK, ADJUSTMENT, and deliberate practice.
Often, laughter is referred to as the best medicine, but it may not be of much help when it comes to completing the overdue vulnerability assessment that your boss has constantly reminded you about. However, humor can relieve us from the stresses of cyber security and remind us that even though our work is important, it's okay to take a break and enjoy a good laugh!
