#5. Does it really take 10,000 hours to become world class!?

the 10,000-hour rule was Introduced by K. Anders Ericsson, a psychologist but made popular by Malcolm Gladwell's book, 'Outliers'.

It's a Story of Success, and the principle states that in order to become world-class in any field, you need 10,000 hours of deliberate practice. This means 417 days' worth of hours, or 3 hours a day for 3,333 days-- over 9 years. I always wondered if this was even true at all or if there was any real credibility behind this saying? In the book, ‘Outliers Gladwell, uses the examples of Bill Gates and ‘The Beatles and other crazy highly successful people.

Recently I heard this saying again while listening to a speech and I decided to apply it to my life to see how many hours Mary and I have been doing trapeze. listen in to hear what our view of the 10,000-rule is.
