Practice Makes Perfect???

Every professional will say that they are good at their jobs because they put the effort into what they do.  I don’t believe this is 100% accurate.  Some people are naturally born all-stars and they are just that good to do what they want.  Look at Derek Jeter, he was born an all-star.  Growing up, he was such an amazing athlete at every sport he played and now he’s playing shortstop for the New York Yankees.  He did have to practice really hard to be a professional, but he was naturally born that way.  He was born with that ability to play baseball.  My mom is a paralegal and she never went to college to get her degree.  She never had that opportunity to go to college and learn the basics of what her job is.  She had to learn on the go.  Once she got a job somewhere, she had to learn from what everyone else was doing.  She still has a lot of learning to do but she still makes one great paralegal.  Most singers out there are pretty good.  They practice and practice every day but they are just naturally such a good singer.  They could keep warming up their vocal cords but they are still good enough to entertain the world.  So all of this information just proves that you don’t have to practice 10,000 hours to be good at something.  Sometimes, you are just born with a gift.  You don’t need the rule “Find someone to kick your butt if you fall off track” because you are your own person.  We are all in college now and you don’t someone holding your hand all the way through college.  If you feel like you are about to fail at something, you need to ask for help on your own because help will not be looking for you.  Most of the rules I do agree with but this one I will have to say is wrong.  You could be your own motivation.  Malcolm Gladwell is right about some things but when it comes to 10,000 hours, you don't need that much practice to be good at something.
