Many people desire a better life. The problem is few people know how to reach their goals. It is amazing how few people know what you need to do to reach goals. This article will give you the most important lesson very about reaching your goals effectively.
"I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times." -Bruce Lee
What Bruce Lee is saying here is about focused effort. Most people try out lots of stuff. Successful people realize success does not come from doing a lot of stuff, but from focused effort. This is the key!
It is your ability to focus on one task so well that you can master that task.
This idea - that excellence at a complex task requires a critical, minimum level of practice - surfaces again and again in studies of expertise. In fact, researchers have settled on what they believe is a magic number for true expertise: 10,000 hours. - Malcolm Gladwell
What the point Gladwell is making about focused effort. You must spend your time highly invested in learning and working on your chosen craft. Some people argue that 10,000 hour is too much time. I would point out if you look at anyone who has spent a great deal of time doing anything; they have significant skill and insight that other people simple do not have.
Lesson: Focus effort over time equals success!
