A Swift Kick in the Butt

A couple articles have motivated me lately to really get moving on some of my interests.  I wrote about one of them today on my technotheory blog, and the other is an interview of Malcolm Gladwell (author of Tipping Point and Blink) on ESPN.com.

Interestingly, they go in somewhat different directions.  The first article contends that you don’t need to have been doing something all your life to be very successful at it.  The second article (the Malcolm Gladwell interview) raises the point that, to be the absolute best at something, it’s quite helpful for you to have been doing it throughout your life.

Where the two articles converge is on the need to be passionate about whatever your interest may be.  They both speak of an ardent desire to enjoy improving your skillsets, be it a gratifying or frustrating experience.  With enough work, it’s possible to be a leader in whatever your industry or interest.
Best of luck :-).
