The 10,000 Hours Rule


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!

Simpleology: Simple Science to Guide You Through the Noises

The best things in life – like time and life energy – are free; and as all other free things, normal human being – us – have the tendency to take them for granted. So no wonder why most of us loves wasting time and energy.

Take me for example. I belong to the deadlines tribe. I am barely able to escape through each and every deadlines, because I love to put aside my (cough – boring – cough)important tasks for (more fun) unimportant activities like reading comic books, playing solitaire, online and offline chatting, and all kind of ‘noises’ we are all too familiar with; and left my works undone until (or after) the last minutes.

Sometimes I even wandering around aimlessly not knowing what to do amidst the abundance of works and assignments that I have to do. They’re just soo much that I become blank instead. Sounds familiar?

While the complete cure to the noise addiction lies inside ourselves, there are treatments available. Here’s one alternative you can try.

The Simple Science of Getting What You Want
Simpleology is the title of a book and name of the self development program created by Mark Joyner. For those of you who has been connected to the internet long enough, you might have stumbled with the name before. He’s one of the pioneer in internet marketing.

Anyway, the one that we’re going to talk about here is not the book but the web course. Continue reading ‘Simpleology: Simple Science to Guide You Through the Noises’

Brain Joke

human brain

A man walked into an antique shop and seemed to be fascinated by the big glass display. There were three items which looked like human brain inside it. So, he asked the shopkeeper curiously, “Are these human brains you are selling?”

“Yes, Sir.” The shopkeeper replied. “Rare collectible items if I might add.”

“Really? But the price tag is a bit pricey, don’t you think?”

“Worth every penny.”

“I see. So, whose brain is this?” Asked the man while pointing out to one ‘item’ tagged one hundred thousand dollar.

“That’s Newton’s”

“Newton as in Isaac Newton?”

“Yes, Sir.”

“Wow…” The man was more fascinated. He then asked another question, pointing to the second one, “And this one, the one priced at five hundred thousand dollar?”

“Einstein’s”

The man’s jaw dropped. His eyes almost popped out of his head. After a few moments of shocking silence, he speechlessly pointed out the third brain, wondered whose brain was that, expected to hear the greatest name in history of human kind. The third brain was tagged a million dollar.

“That one sir, was my mother in law’s.” Said the shopkeeper.

There’s a long moment of silence.

The man confusedly asked, “Why is your mother in law’s brain more expensive than Einstein’s?”

The shopkeeper answered, “It’s in mint condition, Sir. Never had been used.”

How to live 30 hours a day

distortion of time

One of the most popular quotes about time is “Time is Money”. The meaning is simple: time is valuable. You and everybody else in this world have the same share: 24 hours everyday. No more no less. You waste it, you lose it. It won’t come back. Ever.

The funny thing is, there are times when you feel a day last longer, and there are times you feel the other way around. Some people struggle to find more time to be able to finish their works, yet some seems to have too much time that they have to struggle to find things to do to fill their seems to be neverending supply. It seems as if time were stretch-able.

Well, is it stretch-able? Can we get extra time? Can we lose extra time? We’ll let the scientist answer that questions as they are too complicated for us common people. Time is one of the most abstract concepts in human life – along with love, afterlife, alien life form, angels, and the thought that Zune can outsell iPod.

But scientist or not, everybody knows that time flies when you really enjoy what you’re doing, and time crawls when you feel the opposite. So, if you want more time, try to hate everything that you do. :) . Kidding!

But if you want to get ‘bonus’ time, say, six more hours everyday, you could try this following self hack.

Hello world! Really!

Yes, really.

This is my first post to the ‘real’ world. And the definition of ‘real’ here is the rest of the world outside of my beautiful country – Indonesia.

Sure, I’ve blogged before. Since around 2004-2005. But that was (and still is) limited to those who are using my mother tongue  – what else, Indonesian.

Anyway, I am welcoming my self to the real world. And I hope you are also. Please enjoy your staying here. I hope my thought can be a little bit useful.
