We have
been talking about it. Parents are
asking whether talent exist, and I read a provocative article that made write
again:
The 10,000hr rule and
why talent and genes matter
The problem is that we've oversimplified genetics and
talent. Talent has almost become a negative word. It’s often used in the
context that if someone is talented they don’t work hard, as in “oh, he’s just
really talented,” to explain a persons success. People want to buy completely
into Gladwell and the Talent Code because it tells them that they can do
anything with hard work. Sorry, you’re wrong. Hard work is a key ingredient,
but it has to be combined “talent” to reach outlier status. Is the purpose of
this post to discourage you from working hard? No, the idea should be that it
takes hard work to reach YOUR limits. It’s impossible to know you’re ceiling,
but if you work hard and don’t quiet reach you’re goal, it’s most likely
because you didn’t work hard enough.
Are we training intelligently instead of training just
training hard? This should be the question. Moving in the water is a matter of
coordinating the whole body, every part of the body. For the sake of explaining it, when swimming,
leaving the leg or the shoulder in the water while moving forward creates a
huge amount of resistance which requires smart training to overcome it. It is not a matter of how hard we train but
how intelligently we train. How much we
can learn to feel the movement that creates resistance and feel the movement to
overcome it. Gennadi Tourestki speaks of
10,000 hours in the water to DISCOVER TALENT. If we spend 10,000 hours in the water,
chances are that we created talent if we have a good education to do things the
best of our educational ability (assuming that our education is the best).
Albert Einsten would say that education is what limits
his learning process.
What is what you look for when looking for talent? Education, the rest will come if you work hard.
