Speaking of So You Think You Can Dance, they certainly do make dancing look easy. Even the b-boys who do the flips and flares, they do it like someone flipping pancakes on Sunday morning.
Being at the beach the last few days has been fun. I love the fact that every restaurant you go into they have TV's with a surf film playing. You could almost bet on your life on it. After spend a little time watching these guys it is easy for me to start thinking, "That doesn't look so hard."
Amy and I spent a few hours riding bikes along the beach this morning and there weren't that many surfers out there making surfing look easy. Maybe a third would fall off their board before getting very far on the wave and another third would have to stop because of potential collision or not timing the wave right.
I have heard a few times that in order to become an expert in something, any activity, you need to do whatever that activity is for 10,000 hours. That is a very long time! If you were to do one activity for 1 hour everyday (without stopping) it would take you 27 and 1/3 years to become an expert. 27 years is a long time!
It is about at this moment in my thought process that I start to get overwhelmed at the thought of putting 10,000 hours into anything. What if I pick the wrong thing to put my time into? What a horribly fretful question, but its what I have been living in. I don't recommend putting too much effort into fretting, after all...I don't want to be an expert at that and I doubt you do either.
