Greatness is the end result of over 10,000 hours of Deliberate Practice. Greatness is only acheived when the brain starts to function in a way outside the realm of what was learned. Because so few of us ever complete 10,000 hours of Deliberate Practice we see Greatness very seldom in any walk of life. Here is a sample list of Greatness. All people listed have completed over 10,000 hours of Deliberate Practice. EVERY ONE OF THEM, except the last name on the list who did it in 9000!!
Mozart, Einstien, Archimedies, Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Steve Nash, Wayne Gretzky, Warren Buffet, Jim Basillie, Roger Bannister, YoYo Ma, Fleetwood Mac, etc. . Of course Bobby Fischer who did it in 9000.
If you question any of the above I highly recommend the book, “The Talent Code” . If you are a parent I recommend the book right NOW!
