You have probably heard about the 10,000-hour rule created by Malcolm Gladwell in his book “Outliers: The Story of Success.”

Gladwell proposes that the key to success is doing the thing (e.g., practice) in the right amount (10,000 hours).

Execution – doing – is vital for success.

I used the word “created” above on purpose. It is based on real research done by Anders Ericsson, but the way Malcolm Gladwell presents it in his book is not precise.
