The rule of 10,000
May 27, 2010 Leave a comment
We all know that it takes hard work to be good. But just how long does it take to be really great at something? Not just average, run-of-the-mill good – but truly great?
The answer, apparently, is 10,000 hrs. Thats about 5 years of 8 hours of practice a day – before one can be great. An MBA gives you a maximum of 0.5 years in a subject of your choosing. You still need to put in the other 9.5.
