Motivation and Determination is the Root to Success


Basically in this write up it talked about the theory of mastering anything if you put in 10,000 hours into it. I have mixed feelings about this theory because there are some people that are just born with natural talent for example tiger woods. He started playing golf as soon as he began to walk at the age of 5 he was already in the golfers digest magazine. That’s incredible and we all know a kid that young does not have the attention span to put in 10000 hours into anything. Although this is where my mixed feeling come in because I do believe that if anyone dedicates there time and effort into something for 10000 hours I do believe you can master whatever you are putting all your heart and desire into mastering. I have a great friend who was always just the average athlete and worked every day. He would put in the extra hours after practice and even on the weekends ever since he was in middle school to get better. As he worked on speed and strength he began to excel in his position which was running back. He ended up starting all four years in high school as the running back and defensive back because of his hard work and extra hours of training. His name is forever known in our high school for breaking all records possible. He is now playing at a very well-known D1 school called UConn. Where he plays special teams and is second string running back.  All because of the hard work and extra hours of work he put in during the summer and after practice. So at the end of the day yes I do believe that if you put in the right amount of time into something that you want to master it can happen. It’s all about how bad you want it and how much you are willing to work for it.
