I cringe to think of 10,000 hours spent gaming which translates in my mind to hours avoiding real human contact.<br /><br />I would love to become an expert in teaching and learning....I can't imagine many things that would be better than sharing and receiving all different kinds of knowledge. <br /><br /><br />What an intriguing post, Jane!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08027526519270538794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234790858142513224.post-53387131723869295602011-02-04T09:15:14.094-08:002011-02-04T09:15:14.094-08:00I agree with Lucy.

So I guess I'll just do a little here and a little there, hoping to get some expertise in being mediocre. :)Susanhttp://www.unclutteringapyle.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234790858142513224.post-20225739772090877192011-02-04T09:01:19.732-08:002011-02-04T09:01:19.732-08:00My sister-in-law posted about this idea as well, b...My sister-in-law posted about this idea as well, but her thoughts came from reading Outliers from Malcolm Gladwell about how those people who really do excel at things spend 10s of thousands of hours doing those things. She gave the example that General Authorities and apostles probably spend that kind of time studying the gospel, which makes them...well...experts and how she'd like to follow their example (vs. becoming an amazing runner or biologist or piano player). <br /><br />I wish I were the ambitious sort, who wanted to be an expert in anything. I don't have that drive though. I'm afraid the hours, which we all spend doing something, won't have that kind of focus. But, I'm hoping to still turn out. :)Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11107964636020955468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234790858142513224.post-78290600187538401092011-02-04T07:18:11.038-08:002011-02-04T07:18:11.038-08:00Wow.

I had heard the ...I do love your Thursday Thinking. I had heard the 10,000 hours tidbit and wondered about that as well. My initial thought was that I haven't spent 10,000 hours doing anything, but I guess I'll have to re-evaluate that. <br /><br />A Ph.D. in gaming??! What institution grants that degree?michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14617050750444837628noreply@blogger.com
