I was in the beginning of Malcom Gladwell’s “Outliers” – a very good book, highly recommended – when I heard about this so-called “The 10,000 Hours” rule. Scientific research to successful figures reveal that to prepare someone for THE opportunity that one day will come, he or she should already have gone through a minimum 10,000 hours of practice. This is roughly equivalent to a 3-hour practice everyday for about 10 years.
This explains why only those who had determination and able to focus on something will be successful, while those who jumps around from one thing to another will likely fail. Talent and Intelligence are just a small part of success, and matter only up to a certain level.
Bruce Lee once said, “I’m not afraid of a person who practice 1000 kicks one time, but I’m afraid of a person who practice one kick 1000 times.”
Well said master!
If you are a Mac user, you can save US$ 891 on Mac Softwares while making a world a better place doing so.
No, it’s not an April mop. Here’s how you can do it.
MacHeist is back in its third year of promoting a bundle of Mac softwares with a crazy discount. The total bundle should be US$ 931, but they sell it for US$ 39 only.
Now, my role here is not as a salesman and I’m not selling you anything. But what I like about this event is that they will donate 25% of the profit for charity. Their goal is to raise US$ 400,000 and at the time of writing this article, they almost reach US$ 280,000.
What good things could be done with US$ 400,000? Lots of them.
So if you have US$ 39 to spare (and want to get US$ 931 worth of good quality Mac softwares), let’s support the event and help to make the world a better place. Buy the bundle here.
Note: The event will end at April 7, 2009
