They study looked at musicians but the researchers thought it would be reasonable that finding over to other specialities. If you think about your "innate" talents, you probably are spending considerable time honing them without every consciously deciding to work on that gift. Thus, we all hit the 10,000 hour mark doing something. I can’t remember where I read it, but 10,000 hours of practice at anything can make you a prodigy.

Strung it out between two palm trees in my back yard. Now I have no reason not to spend more time reading (learning, I only read non-fiction). After graduating college with a graphics degree, I missed out on much of the important topics, economics, religion, business start-ups, venture capital, investing, etc. I have made it my mission (1 hour a day) to continue my lifelong learning and read new ideas from smart people. I find this MUCH more engaging than cable TV. I even checked out a book about string theory. OK, that one almost made my head explode but I gave it a shot. My next goal is video. I bought a new Sony HD mini cam with water housing. I figured I have spent two years in Maui with nothing to show for it. Better start capturing it all. Stay tuned....

I realize that Tim Ferriss' lifestyle-design ideology is very similar to this, but if memory serves, he never breaks down the gains you can make with such simple dedication. Keep up the good work! Also, John: Going to Spain? Excellent decision. For some astounding, inexpensive paella, there is a nation-wide chain of restaurants called "Café y Té" -- I know, at least, the Valencia store has amazing dishes. Ronnie,

I'm going to Europe in July, so I have decided to learn Spanish. It would be nice to know how to order sangria & paela natively, to tell a woman that she is beautiful and avoid a blood vendetta due to mistakenly calling someones mother a strumpet. Have been using Mango Languages but LiveMocha seems pretty good too. Each lesson is about 30 minutes and very practical. Good luck! Learning languages is definately a great idea.
