You'll be a master at something with 10 thousand hours and good at something with the first 10 hours. That's what Dr. Josh Kaufman says at his book called "The First 10 Hours...".
Some time ago I read some articles about another doctor, he says to be a master at something you need to spend 10 thousand hours of practice. In my opinion that's true. The more time you spend at something, the better you'll become. Dr. Josh said something that got noticed. At the first hours at something you feel a little stupid and nobody likes to feel like a stupid, but if you're in the process of learning something of course you'll be a little silly at the beginning.
Everybody needs to persist at their goals even if it is not so easy, nothing is easy when we start doing it. Another thing he says is to split some goals into small tasks. He called it a deconstruction skill. It's to limit small achievements one at a time. The feeling about being awarded for a small task is bigger than the struggle with a big task. His research was very interesting for me and I'll keep reading other subjects about it.
