Practice isn't the thing you do once
you're good. It's the thing you do that makes you good.
The other interesting thing about that ten thousand
hours, of course, is that ten thousand hours is an enormous amount of time. It's all but impossible to reach
that number all by yourself by the time you're a young
adult.
You have to have parents who encourage and support you. You can't be poor, because if you have to hold
down a part-time job on the side to help make ends meet,
there won't be time left in the day to practice enough. In
fact, most people can reach that number only if they get
into some kind of special program—like a hockey all-star
squad—or if they get some kind of extraordinary opportunity that gives them a chance to put in those hours.
