10,000 hours

Experts say that if you want to truly become an expert in your field, you have to dedicate 10,000 hours of practice. The 10,000 hours rule is a confirmation that "practice makes perfect". In Malcom Gladwell's book Outliers he explains just that. According to an interview with Gladwell, Gates met the 10,000-Hour Rule when he gained access to a high school computer in 1968 at the age of 13, and spent 10,000 hours programming on it. Gates now has a net worth of $50 Billion.
Also, Gladwell states that The Beatles played live in Hamburg, Germany about 1,200 times, which surpassed their 10,000 hours.
Whether it's art, music, computer programing, sports or even your full-time job, if you put the time in, you'll see results.

Here are videos of prime examples of hard work paying off. Basketball is the sport I love and I am more than willing to put the time in to see progress in my game and my confidence. Remember, don't be afraid of hard work because it will ALWAYS pay off.









ARE YOU WORKING HARD OR HARDLY WORKING?
