Ambition 2
Every person in the world has special and different skills. Someone is good at sport, music or other abilities. It is claimed that a successful genius can be trained by a minimum of 10,000 hour of deliberate practice, which is approximately ten years. While, the others believe that people’s natural ability is closely related to genes, which is the most significant factor to be success. In my opinion, it is disagree that The 10,000 Hour Rule can let everyone to become successful, since deliberate practice lays special emphasis on repetitive work and it is only some fields. Nevertheless, it does not decrease the value of the training to be zero.
To begin with, deliberate practice can just give an individual an opportunity to succeed as an experimental innovator, but not a conceptual innovator. “Natural talent and other factors are more likely play a role in establishing whether someone can master a complicated activity.” (Emma Innes, 21st May 2013, paragraph 2) It is believed that a long period train truly can help a hard-working person to be an elite; while, their success reaches to performance improvement. Since 10,000 hour is unconventional practice, which learns abundant experience from mistakes. For instance, with regard to Mathematic, although most of the Asians are skilled in it, they do not possess their own creativity that can discover a new formula due to rote learning. In addition, they just keep doing exercise for formulas, which they are weak at unceasingly in every single day. They are unable to be one of conceptual innovators because experimental innovators learn from them and they cannot think out of the box.
Apart from repetitive work, deliberate practice also only works at some fields, but others
