Practice

I read that someone did a survey and no matter if it were art, sport or anything else, it took about ten thousand hours to become world class at something.

I also read that most people grossly over estimate what they can get done in a day and grossly under estimate what they can get done in ten years.

If you put 2 hours and 45 minutes a day into something, in ten years you would have invested 10,000 hours into it and you could be world class at it.

At what would you like to be at a world class standard?

The world’s foremost cellist, Pablo Casals, at 83 was asked why he continued to practice four and five hours a day. Casals answered, “Because I think I am making progress.”

I just love that response!
