Becoming Great

Who doesn’t want to be great at something? I, of course, already am great at most things, but I’m sure you all want to be like me. (That was a joke. I hate how often I have to say those words. Maybe I’m not so great at humor.)

In a recent post at Zen Habits, this was the vintro:

Very often you’ll see blog posts or books teaching you to “master” a skill in only 10 days, or 3 days … in fact, it used to be 30 days but the time frame to master something seems to be shrinking rapidly.

I’ve even seen tutorials claiming to teach a skill in just a few hours. Pretty soon we’ll be demanding to know how to do something in seconds.

Instant mastery of skills and knowledge! Hey presto!

Unfortunately, the reality is something a little less magical.

You can read the rest of the post about how hard it is to develop greatness and the reality of how to develop it over here.
