You made me remember something one of my teachers said, depending on your experience, you can be a beginner (1 hour of practice), novice-average (100 hours) expert(1000 hours), or expert (more than 1000 hours of experience). There is mastery at 10.000 hours, but above that, there is one more step, called virtuosity, where the skilled people who put the time and the work before everything else become a master above all masters. The true 1%. Funny enough, by his words, until we reach adulthood, we have enough time to master 2 skills, or become experts in 8 skills. And many of us are barely becoming experts in one single skill by the time we are 18. Sad!

EXPERT! 😀
Eh eh then I can boast this level too!
I just started playing 2023, not bad I'd say 😉
Football manager is one of my greatest passions, every year in Matale my wife gives me the new version 🎉🎊🎉🎊
I have about 1800 hours in Apex Legends and about 2000 hours in COD, all starting from 2019 to now. Covid really gave me a ton of free time to grind. 😂 Now the overall FPS experience is probably getting close to 5000 hours I guess, means I'm halfway in the journey of becoming a master eh?
Yes sir!
I'd forgotten some of us were getting paid to sit at home and game, nice!
I remember students attending online classes on one screen and then playing games or watching videos on the other screen haha. Crazy times, a crazy life we lived back then. I was almost on the brink of insanity from staying indoors for that long.
EXPERT x2 haha :D
You crazy! 🤣
:D :D
Are you? :)
Actually no. The versions are quite different and so far I'm struggling to win anything major or 2022.
My home town though are multiple champions of Europe on the 2012 edition 😁
The difference is between "we can" and "we should". If your childhood is focused on mastering two skills you might miss out on other beautiful things.
This is sad tho, yeah...
I wonder what brings greater well being, lack of skill or being very good at a few things?
Well, having 0 skills is just freaking bad for ya.
The 10,000 hour thing is a bit of a myth, but I get your point. I also question what life might be like if instead of doing what we do at school early on now, we learn how to learn instead, then start learning the content. Having good process in place before learning bad habits, means being able to learn the right thing from the get-go. It is the "perfect practice makes perfect" approach, rather than random practice.
I am definitely far from skilled in so many things, after a misspent childhood, teen years, young adulthood, adulthood... :D
Some stuff is not necessarily seen at work as you can get experts in chess, swimming, running, lego building, and so on. Still aligned with a good childhood. I never felt more proud than when I beat my that on one of our weekly/monthly games of chess.
Yes, this is the case. I also think that learning the "right things" lead to more learning. There are skills learned from chess for example, that can aid other aspects of life. I question how much core skill kids miss when they spend all their time on phones. Spatial awareness? predictive skill? The ability to visualize? What is affected and what are the ramifications later in life?
My idea for my kids is to learn a faster reading course - this will save hours if not days of your life, and then fast learning techniques. To start with it.
