        <description><![CDATA[Colin Powell puts it in an emphatic quote: There are no secrets to success; it is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure. I wish to put enjoyed work in place of hard work and the rest of quote is superb. You need ten years of enjoyed work to get success. Malcolm Gladwell in his book Outliers: The Story of Success (2011) suggests you need 10,000 hours of practice of a specific task to become an expert so start putting in that time now. He quotes In fact, researchers have settled on what they believe is the magic number for true expertise: ten thousand hours. It is notable that in normal course it takes exactly 10 years to meet the 10,000-Hour Rule.Is this rule applicable to all the top artists, musicians, writers, and business leaders? Yes it is. Does 10000 hours of practice make one the master of any chosen pursuit? Yes, it does. I am in favor of spending 10 years instead of 5 years because success comes from perfect practice and not mere practice. Dr Anupam Acharya www.dranupamacharyaji.com]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I have had a similar advise from my karate teacher too... He told me, after one thousand punches, a punch becomes something else, if you did them correctly. It means a reflex of your own mind, and your ability to make an ipon on a kumite.Oss]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[NO amount of work will suffice if you're not born with the capability for something. A person born with perfect pitch and magnificent coordination and reflexes will never become a truly great musician without a huge amount of work. The other thing that is absolutely necessary is good fortune. You need support and the right teachers. You need both the physical and mental attributes. I get so tired of the arguments that stress one thing as the only factor.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The sad fact is that there are physical and mental constraints involved.10,000 hours of practice aught to get you about as far as your mind and body can take you.The compentency learned in all that practice, sometimes makes room for genius to take the skill to a whole new level. Sometimes all that practice merely reaches good or d*m good, but still falls far short of the level of genius.As for me I have some 30,000 hours of practice programming, and I'm no Paul Allen or Bill Gates. I'm better than most of the programmers I've known, but I've also known a few who stand head and shoulders above my skills.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[As my karate teacher told me oh so many years ago, it's not practice that makes perfect, it's perfect practice that makes perfect. If you are spending 10,000 hours practicing how to do something, and you're doing it incorrectly, you'll still be bad at it 10,000 hours later. You have to spend those hours productively, practicing how to do something the right way every time.]]></description>
