Why do you practice and who do you practice for?
Does it annoy you when people with “half the talent” succeed over you? Why do they succeed? Is it because they have more money? Is it because they worked harder? Were they born into career royalty?
Malcolm Gladwell’s “Outliers” is a great book. We all should read it. The thing about it though, is that it talks about people history will remember. Gates…Jobs…The Beatles. People that have had incredible success along with timing and opportunity. What about those people that are successful in the moment. The one’s we forget about that planted the seed, and forgot to water the tree. The one’s that haven’t put in their 10,000 hours (Seth Godin’s Take on Gladwell).
Why do you practice and who do you practice for?
Is it because you love it, and you do it for yourself? Love it enough to do it for 600,000 minutes?
