Alan Rusbridger, Gary Marcus, Tim Jenison, 10,00 hours and the hope, fear, and the dreams of mature students

Obsession is good. It puts a lift in the day, week, month, and year. Below are some inspirational stories of folks who just went for it.

​Alan attempts Chopin's Ballade in G minor in one year.
​Gary takes up heavy metal guitar at 40
​Tim learns to paint.

​What do they have in common? High intelligence, a bias for action, a naïve belief in themselves, and guts.

​Gary's second short video, the third on this list, explodes the idea you need 10,000 hours. A great place to start. 

Cheers,

David

​BTW: I'm over the 3,000 hour mark in my drumming. That's  7 years of effort.
