From Speed Labs:
One of the key factors in attaining success in any field is the age old concept of “practice makes perfect.” Although some people might have an innate knack for a particular subject or skill, the truth is mastery takes time, repetition and pushing oneself out of his/her comfort zone – there is no shortcut. While author and public speaker Malcolm Gladwell suggests it takes 10,000 hours of practice to become an expert at a particular area, Josh Kaufman says it takes 20 hours of practice per month to go from “knowing nothing to being pretty good.”
Whether you look at the number of hours Michael Jordan put on the court to fine-tune his athletic skills, or the number of hours of riyaaz Mohammad Rafi put into his vocal craft, the bottom line is they all practiced hard and were never complacent – in fact they always searched for new aspects of their field to further fine-tune. The same concept holds true at an academic level, as well.
