This blog post reminds of an article I read a few years back, 2007 I think, in the Harvard Business Review called, The Making of an Expert. The article stipulates that it takes 10,000 hours of practice to become an expert in a particular field. It also stated that having a mentor increased the probably of actually becoming an expert significantly.
- ryan-allen 16y agoAn essay written by Kathy Sierra a couple of years ago cites some research along those lines: http://headrush.typepad.com/creating_passionate_users/2006/03/how_to_be_an_ex.html http://headrush.typepad.com/creating_passionate_users/2006/0... Every time I get despondent about new skills (which obviously are long term plans) I re-read that and say, yes, time to practice, and time to practice deliberately! Sometimes I wonder that if you can't enjoy the work to get to the end goal then what's the point, so I try to find ways to enjoy the practice, and usually do.
