The numbers behind the 10,000 hour rule are kind of funny. If you worked 2 hours EVERY day on doing something (e.g. practice an instrument) it would take you over 13 1/2 years to meet the 10,000 hour rule. But, the thing is (from someone who plays multiple instruments), if you were to TRULY practice EVERY day for 2 hours at piano you would gain tremendous mastery over the instrument in less than half that time (e.g. 5-6 years). So, in my opinion, 10,000 hours is actually excessive.
