"Success in 10,000 hours?


Many of us ever imagined the "born ready" to fit where space provided. The truth is that this is very complex and that the line between reality is very thin. The theory set forth by the Book Outliars Gladwell tells us that only 10,000 hours will get sure success.
In the 90s the psychologist K. Anders Ericsson and his colleagues at the Berlin Music Academy, an interesting study to see what factors distinguish the genius of the music of artists more or less. They separated the students of the German school of elite into three groups: the exceptional, the good and the mediocre.


The research was designed to determine the intensity of study and hours of practice each of which had been presented to evaluate the correlation between commitment and actual performance. All of them had started playing (violin, in this case), almost the same age (five years) and practiced an average of two to three hours per week.
At eight years, however, came the difference: this age best students practiced about six hours per week. At twelve years, the average jumped to eight hours and reached the age of fourteen, sixteen. When he was twenty years old, these students have been devoted to the music of thirty hours per week and had combined ten thousand hours of practice.
An interesting point in the assessment of this issue is that ten thousand hours is a bit of time! No child can reach that mark, if he has strong support from his family. In all aspects of the genius of his life in developing countries need emotional support, financial and motivational.


As for the biography of illustrious success, Gladwell shows how they managed to complete this strenuous journey. Since Bill Gates (cute, huh?) And Bill Joy (who rewrote the UNIX and Java and founded Sun Microsystems) to the Beatles (who in 1960 conducted 12 hours, seven days a week in Hamburg , Germany).
Environmental factors also account for much of the opportunities that these icons had access. The stories of the computer wizards accumulate above the coincidences of fate that conspired in his favor. Gates and joy came to be near research centers in major information revolutions occurred.


Their lives are mixed with university labs and companies that form the modern electronic equipment. Their families were capable and interested in supporting them. The personal dedication of each one fed their individual motivations.
The exact moment that such major changes occurred, they were young and energetic. In 1975, when it launched the first affordable mini-computer, which were in their twenties. They and all kind of noise that rocked the Silicon Valley, as Paul Allen, Steve Ballmer, Steve Jobs, Eric Schmidt.


Every rule has its exception, and there are millions of people achieve success without the magic number. There are only 10,000 hours necessary to achieve individual success, it takes confidence, both the family around you as yourself, patience to understand that it is a success to reach the goal, but also a successful attempt, effort not drop by the rocks that stand in all challenges that we get the courage to get the bar higher every day, but above all things love which is vital as it is the real success in life can get.
