    I think this rule is fairly accurate, I first read it in Malcolm Gladwells book Outliers. I didn't realize it is discussed in so many other books, thanks for the info! Now I must read more...

    Haven' heard about that rule but I noticed many many talents who came 'from nowhere' and after a while only found out they put a lot of work to succeed. The rule of 10 years was obvious and it stands for actors, singers, sportsmen... I guess they need a little bit of luck too to be in the right time in the right place, without injuries, with proper connections...
    Informative and inspirational lens, thumbs up!

    Years ago I heard or read James K. Kilpatrick state that it took seven years to become a good writer. In thirty-five years of teaching and leading a fiction writing workshop I have witnessed that "rule" many times. I've even had a hopeless writer who passionately wanted to write stick with it for that seven years and come out as a very passable writer. Seven years or seven books has invariable held true. I also ban my fiction proteges from using first-person narrators for seven years because of the difficulty of using first-person in fiction.

    I can personally vouch for the 10,000 hour rule. I have over 16 years in my field, and I definitely feel comfortable at it, even if the information changes daily, thanks to the 9th Circuit.

    This is a good rule to know. Thank you!

    I first came across this rule a few years back through reading Malcolm Gladwell's book. In terms of full-time employment, if we need to put in 5 years to gain expertise, then the number makes sense.

    Very interesting - never heard of this before. It makes sense, though, gotta put in a lot of time to get a skill down pat.

    Practice makes you better. There's always a room for improvement. You should also love what you're doing for you to become the best.

    This does seem like a lot of time. But when you look at college and other job training school maybe it make sense. Very informative. Blessed by a SquidAngel.

    10,000 hours seems like a lot, but if that's what it takes to become an expert.....

    I have never heard it quite put this way but I have to agree with your topic. Excellent job and a good read.

    I first heard about this in one of Malcom Gladwell's books. I'm hoping to get there someday with my writing. :)

    I could see that squidoo is addicting because the lowest and highest levels got the most votes in your polls...once they start, they just keep going as there are many at the top...there must be some who fell off the cliff. Great lens.

    When you learn to program in a particular language is takes that time before it becomes "natural" no effort to program where you are just concerned with implementing the project.

    I have to try it! Thumbs Up!
  • EllaHalligan Oct 4, 2010 @ 8:24 pm | delete
    This makes TOTAL sense to me. As a nurse, I find that it takes the first year of full time employment just to become baseline proficient... and another 2 to 3 years to really get good in a specific area. It's nice to see a number placed on it... I think it would help newbie nurses feel better about not feeling so confident!!!

    I never tried your poll because I do not know but far too many to still be an amateur. Blessed by an Angel.

    I'd never heard of this role either. Wish it took less time!
  • GonnaFly Sep 13, 2010 @ 1:44 pm | delete
    What an interesting read. I had never heard about this rule. Now. Let me think. Where do I want to spend my 10000 hours?
