How do you measure this? You can't take a group of 100 people and randomly assign half to 10,000 hours of deliberate practices. I always felt like this conversation had different connotations at different levels. Not everyone can be Simone Biles, but we can all probably learn to do a backflip. Or more to the point, I think the average person thinks they could never be good enough to impress their friends, and this is probably wrong. With much less than 10,000 hours of deliberate practice you can probably impress people. Write music that satisfies your own soul. You won't be Mozart, but how many of us in the modern world want to be Mozart?
