You probably heard of the book that claims that anyone can achieve greatness by practicing 10,000 hours.
Very Democratic, and it makes people feel good.
And hard to disprove, since most people will never practice something for 10,000 hours
I never believed this. I think talent, genetics play a much bigger told them hard work.
Not saying that hard work is not necessary, but it's not nearly sufficient.
A mentor told me years ago:
If hard work made one rich, grave diggers would be billionaires.
Anyway, this study shows that, in Athletics for example, practice accounts for 18 percent of the difference between athletes.
