The chapter is called "The 10,000-Hour Rule." It starts by talking about Bill Joy. He is a compute genius. In college, he was into math. He started using computers. He was so interested. He spent all night working on them. He spent over 10,000 hours on computers. A study showed that people, who practiced over 10,000 hours by age 20, were virtuosos. He was a virtuosos. Then, the book shows that the Beatles also practiced for 10,000 hours. The author says that talent is needed but so is practice. Then, he goes on to say that Bill Joy and Bill Gates were both lucky to be born in the 50's. This was the computer boom. If they were born later they would be too late.
I was semi-bored. It was full of information, but it wasn't the most interesting chapter.
