Ten Thousand Hours

Ten thousand hours -- fifty hours a week for four years -- is, according to Malcolm Gladwell's book, Outliers, the key to success in any field.  In other words, you should expect to put in at least 10,000 hours in order to get really good at something.

What is your passion?  What do you care about enough that you are willing to invest ten thousand hours into it?

For some inspiration, listen to the Macklemore song, "Ten Thousand Hours."  The lyrics to the song are here.
