hello TRF friends,

in a recent book it has been discussed that it takes 10,000 hours to master your passion or craft... how many out there can attest to this and would care to share your experience?

look forward to hearing....

ps i think a certain someone with 75000+ posts here on TRF qualifies

I can ride a horse like the Devil himself.

Interesting. It has taken me a lot more than 10,000 hours ( that's only 4 ish years of work weeks) to "master" my career. And I am learning more everyday. Granted if I had no drive for business growth, there would be no need to learn more.

kareemthedream33 · 13 June 2011, 04:58 AM

Call of Duty and drinking many beers.

I am the best at playing with my son. He is the best thing i've ever done.

Rbdport · 13 June 2011, 05:18 AM

Climbing onto a bar stool. If that's not impressive enough, you should see me order and drink!

Welshwatchman · 13 June 2011, 05:40 AM

I have finally mastered the art of using the TV remote control.

I'm an excellent driver.

KaneAlmsivi · 13 June 2011, 08:23 AM

I'm a pretty competent mathematician, engineer & technician.

I'd say my stock in trade is fluid dynamics - Bernoulli's principle and the like.

Watchdog · 13 June 2011, 08:55 AM

Father. And that's all that is ultimately important to me.

subtona · 13 June 2011, 12:13 PM

excellent contributions....

what else does this incredibly eclectic group have to offer????

i can build nice/strong/durable bicycle wheels.

I am by no means a master wheel builder but it is a source of pride when my friends ride em for years:-)

.... 10,000 hours is a long time to practice anything, it is also said that a person can master 1 or maybe 2 things in a lifetime....?

who else can master something here on TRF?

threemonkeys · 13 June 2011, 01:07 PM

Having grown up without a father, I think I have become the master of 'Dadness' with my three boys. I provide a great combination of fun, discipline and mentoring of three great young human beings. Yeah for me!!!

Has to be 'trouble' for me

a) Getting into it
B) Getting out of it
c) Being in it

From childhood to now

GradyPhilpott · 13 June 2011, 04:11 PM

I can balance an empty 20oz soda bottle on the end of my index finger for up to about a minute, if I can stay focused that long.
