Outliers

Gladwell:

Have you read this book. I just happened to come accross this book by Gladwell. The book is titled Outliers - The story of success. There is a topic on remembering and practicing things and it says for a person to master some thing (or to become like A. R. Rehman) you need to outpass other masters in that particular field and practice nearly for 10,000 hours.

My suggestion on that would be to practice even more than that. So that you become unconsciously competent.

Check the below blog for more details on Outliers and Gladwell.
