BOUNCE :How champions are made

Matthew Syed through his personal story supported by several examples confirms that success depends on the time spent on one subject.

He succeeded not because of innate talent, but because of special circumstances of his youth. He learned from expert, dedicated teachers and practiced all the time and demonstrates the validity of the adage, "Practice makes perfect".

He supports and goes dipper with his researches into 10.000 hours rule by presenting scientific evidence that people who practice with enough diligence, patience and focused intensity can become great, regardless of the presence or absence of supposedly inborn ability. Syed covers other fascinating topics, including racial stereotypes, the "placebo effect" and baseball players' "good luck" rituals. This book is considered a hymn to the power and efficacy of practice, dedication, determination and hard work.

  1. Dear Idi
    A few people can spend ten thousand hours to be successful in something that he/she doesn’t love enough. I think that talent stands in this point, making you spend your energy in something or not. As a mathematics teacher we always strongly recoment students more more practices.
    My motto:The more exercises the more understanding
