10,000 hours of worth it (blog 3)

 Some people call themselves experts  at a hobby or  think themselves blessed with talent . Gladwell's  article " The 10,000 hour rule" focuses on the difference between professionals and amateurs by describing the differences of how each person  practices their trait. Gladwell points out that when we ask amateurs or students how much they practice per day/week etc. it will almost always end up showing that they do not reach the 10,000 hour mark. whereas professionals or experts would practice almost exponentially and pass the 10,000 hour milestone and then go on to prove that they are experts or professionals at their subject. Some examples gladwell uses of this idea include Mozart, Bill gates, and the Beatles. He goes into detail about how each of those examples were brought up through their past and more specifically how they practiced so much. Gladwell definitely got his point of the 10,000 hour rule across, at least to me. After reading this i hope to be able to put in more practice to the things i aspire to be great at.
