Bounce

During all our lives we learn and fight how to be successful. But in most of the cases looks like some point is missing, the hard work or the talent. I don’t really understand if these two are completely separated from each other.
However, Bounce, strongly emphasizes that everything (almost) might be reached with hard work and dedication and if we want to be successful, we have to earn it. For illustrating this, the author takes examples from Mozart to Woods, explaining that their success has been attained by hard work and dedication. But the stickiest illustration is that of ten thousand hours rule. For any complex task, a random person maybe selected, and after ten thousand hours training, he/she will be a master at it. Does this mean that we have found the key to success and everyone can be successful in any direction that he/she wants?
Syed's argument is that what we perceive as inborn talent is actually the output of thousands of hours of practice. The book is referring to sport and art samples but for business people, the same analogy should be, as nobody is successful since the beginning, it requires practice to be. But the difference stands that business/entrepreneurs start their practice in an older age than musicians and athletes thus they achieve their success (if yes) later.

Anyway, nobody 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.
