The most important thing about 10000 hour rule summary

You started working your whole life and you don’t come across these secrets, and after that, you came to know that you are getting old and your life is going to end.

10,000 hours rule who has found first

10,000 hours rule first published in the book “Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell”. If you go to the book page number 35. You will get the 10,000-hour rule.

Now the question comes how Malcolm Gladwell found this rule.

Actually, Malcolm Gladwell studied Anders Ericson research, which name was
“The role of Deliberate Practice in the acquisition of expert performance”
but Malcolm Gladwell has given the wrong interpretation in this research.

First, wrong interpretation:

• The expert who studied in this research they on average has taken 10 thousand hours.
• Few people have taken less than 10,000 hours. they also become experts.

Second wrong interpretation:

• Told to focus on quantity, not on quality.
• Another is “deliberate practice” which means with the feedback you have to increase your skills.

Finally, in this research paper, many people started doubting.

The doubt is that when from experts who performed 10,000 hours rules feedback is taken:

• They told that it depends on one memory, how fast the memory can capture.
• It was told it does not depends on how many hours were given.

Anyways if we believe in 10,000 hours rules or not.

Suppose if we have little talent in some particular skills:

• You need an audience to show your skills.
• Need to do marketing.
• Without spending money on marketing.

We will take an example of how people succeded in viral marketing, lets have a look.

We will take 2 examples based on viral marketing:

Million-dollar homepage.

If I tell you to earn 7 core rupees, how much time will it take?

• You will say it will take my whole life to earn that amount.
• Or you might say that it cannot be achieved in my lifetime.

But Alex Tew has earned this amount in 4 months before going to college.

He started thinking, can I make anything that has a virality effect.

1st idea

• He got an idea that if he makes 1000 * 1000 pixels of website.
• Which means 10 lakh pixels.
• If he sells 1 pixel for 1$.
• And this website gets famous because of its name.
• Which is named as “Million dollar homepage”
• Many people will visit the website for advertisements.
• They will be interested to buy pixels.
• For advertising for their brands.

He has successfully done this you can check the million-dollar homepage website.

• You can check the website, where you can see many advertisements.
• Website link: http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com/
• If you click on that particular advertisement.
• You can reach the particular brand website.
• From this idea, Alex has earned 7 core. That too before joining college.

If he has done one time, then you can say it as luck.

But Alex Tew has got an idea a second time and took the advantage of the situation.

2nd idea

• Once there was famous news in media.
• Where someone has thrown shoes at president Josh Bush.
• Alex Tew found an idea from this incident.
• He has made a game.
• In this game, you can throw shoes to Josh Bush as many as in 30 seconds.
• From the news media, this game also became more famous.
• And Alex Tew earned more money.
• He got “9 million uniques visitors in 7 days”.

Red paper clip to buying house story

Let’s take an example of Red paper clip:

• A boy with the red paper clip.
• Paper clip costs less than Rs 1.
• Exchanging paper clips, he has bought a house whose price was Rs 1 core.

How is this possible?

1. It is a real story.
2. His name was Kyle Macdonald.
3. One day Kyle Macdonald was sitting at his desk.
4. He got a red paper clip lying on his desk.
5. Almost all people among us will think that paper clip is useless.
6. Kyle Macdonald dint takes it as useless.
7. He thought that when he was a kid.
8. He uses to exchange things and get other things in return.
9. So he started thinking that he can exchange paper clips with anyone.
10. He has taken a paper clip, taken a photo, and posted it online.
11. Thinking that someone takes the paper clip and exchange it with other items.
12. Which are much valuable than paper clips.

Many people thought that this is a foolish idea or a useless idea.

But few girls responded to this internet post.

Few girls borrowed the paper clip and given them a pen which is in the shape of fish.

Few girls thought that it was a funny idea.

Kyle Macdonald also got happy and the girls also got happy after exchange both items.

This was a normal exchange, nobody has given money in this exchange.

• After that Kyle Macdonald has exchanged the pen with his friend with a doorknob.
• He exchanged the doorknob with the cam stove.
• Cam stove exchanged with the generator.
• Generator exchanged with a snowmobile.
• Snowmobile exchanged with the van.
• And must bigger and better thing as much to buy a house.

He is getting publicity, he started getting a trade, wherein Hollywood movie, he got a small role.

• Kyle Macdonald can now trade.
• And finally, there is a town in Canada named Kipling.
• Where they need a contract for the movie role. such that their town got famous.
• And for this trade, Kyle Macdonald was offered 2 stories building.
• The price of the building is more the Rs 1 core.
• Meanwhile, exchanging paper clips, he has bought a house also.

Kyle Macdonald was very understanding and turned the house into a cafe and named the cafe as “Paperclip Cottage Cafe”.

Such that people remind about the famous story and comes to the cafe. and the cafe business goes on successfully and he starts getting regular income.

Kyle Macdonald discussed two concepts:

1.Unique and wired concepts.

This is proven that unique and wired concepts have a viral effect in which people get taking interest in it.

If your product gets somehow viral, you will be successful anyways.

2.I could do it.

Kyle Macdonald thought the “Simple idiotic sound” idea can be executed. but we think in our minds that this idea cannot be executed.

• We got to know about marketing skills.

The conclusion is that from any skills we know.

We need to market on it, to earn money from that skills.
