Analysis Of The 10, 000 Hours Of Practice

What brings you to success? Is it the 10,000 hours of practice? My opinion is it all depends on the situation as in what you’re trying to be successful. So personally I kind of agree with this 10,000 hour theory. What is the 10,000 hour rule? It’s stated in the book by Malcolm Gladwell, if you practice for 10,000 hours then you will become successful in whatever you were practicing in or for. To me 10,000 hours of practice all the depends, because mentally you have to be motivated. The three correlations of success in this book that I had found was relating to IQ, birth year, and the theory of the 10,000 hour rule. They say this all has something to do with one 's success.

IQ is an abbreviation for intelligence quotient. It states that IQ

In the book outliers it shows a list on pages 56 through 61 of the seventy-five richest people in human history. There was a 9 year window showing that they were the most wealthy and intelligent with an opportunity americans due to their birth year. The birth year ranges from 1832 to 1840. Stating that “ John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, Frederick Weyerhaeuser, Jay Gould, Marshall Field, George F. Baker, Hetty Green, James G. Fair, Henry H. Rogers, J.P Morgan, Oliver H. Payne, George Pullman, Peter Arrell Brown Widener, and Philip Danforth Armour”( Gladwell pg.62). They went to top universities and whatever they had invented and became relevant into today’s world and and it will always continue to grow without them in the world for billions and billions of years. They say, “if you were born in 1840’s and above you were too young to take advantage of the moment”(Gladwell pg.62) and “ if you were born in the 1820’s you were too old : that your mind set was shaped by the Civil- War Paradigm”( Gladwell pg.62). “All of the fourteen men and women had a vision and they yall had talent. They were also given an extraordinary opportunity, in the same way that hockey and soccer players born in January, February, and March. Meaning that people born in those months easily to play sports that happen around that

The Beatles were living proof of this rule. They had to perform for hours and had zero experience. They had to draw the audience attention somehow so they started to get better and built more confidence amongst themselves. They only have gotten good and well known because of the hours that they put into their performances. They started to put their hearts and soul into everything they did to get themselves over. They were having shows 24/7, eight hours a day and all seven days of the week. People saw that they were “no good onstage” but when they went to there shows and came back to their hometown they were so called “good”. It must have been all the work that these gentlemen have put in. They gave themselves “discipline” to keep them inline so that the work that the Beatles put in was worth everything. Like I said this is living proof, but it all depend on the situation you are in.

In conclusion, the correlations that bring you amongst success was stated in the essay, such as your IQ. It determines how successful you will be and how far you will go in life. Next, the year of your birth, this is pretty much a given opportunity and what you will be successful in as the example was given in the third paragraph.
