We think of him as someone extraordinary – that is: a child prodigy – because we compare him to the wrong group of people. Talent is overrated – and never enough! And if you really want to succeed in anything in life, you’ll have to repeat this truism as if a mantra. And pair it up with another: practice makes perfect, practice makes perfect, practice makes perfect… Talent is overrated! Practice can’t be! You Need Motivation to Succeed – and Sometimes It Can Be Something Trivial

When most people practice, they focus on the things they can do effortlessly,” Ericsson has said. “Expert practice is different. It entails considerable, specific, and sustained efforts to do something you can’t do well—or even at all. Research across domains shows that it is only by working at what you can’t do that you turn into the expert you want to become.” So far the focus in this book has been on the quantity of practice required to reach the top, and we’ve seen that it’s a staggering amount of time, stretching for a period of at least ten years.” The idea that the Creator is on your side, guiding your footsteps, taking a personal interest in your troubles, deriving pleasure from your victories, providing solace in your defeats, orchestrating the world such that, in the words of Saint Paul’s Epistle to the Romans, ‘All things work together for good to those who love God’ – all this must have a dramatic impact on the efficacy of a sportsman, or indeed anyone else.

As an advisor to owner- managed businesses, I see the 10,000 hour/10 year experience rule being lived out in many ways. For example most professionals spend their 20s and early 30s mastering the technical aspects of their profession, and the next decade mastering management and business skills so that by the mid to late 40s they are at the height of their powers. This book could be called The T-Myth (with apologies to Michael Gerber, author of The E-Myth)- the T standing for talent of course. It explains in scientific terms of some of the principles set out by Gerber in his book and it has helped me to understand why some of my most successful clients have done so well, often after years of struggling and learning from their mistakes (i.e. "purposeful practice" in Syed's words). His book Bounce thus turned out to be a book that focused on excellence in sports. It is always a great literally contribution when you have an expert with hands-on experience share their insights in a manner that is clear, easy to understand A cookie set by YouTube to measure bandwidth that determines whether the user gets the new or old player interface.

Key features include 7ft wide cinematic screen with HD projector and a state of the art wireless presentation system.

Most of us can’t find any motivation for well, anything but building Lego castles – when we’re children! When we get older, our success depends on it. Talent] cannot be taught in a classroom; it is not something you are born with; it must be lived and learned. To put it another way, it emerges through practice”.
