    It Takes 10,000 HOURS to Develop Talent !
     
    How Many Hours Have You Clocked Today?

    I AM RECORDING A NEW ALBUM THIS SUMMER - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT the 10,000 HOUR RULE ...

    It has been said that you must have 10,000 hours

    of practice in a subject to be an EXPERT.

    “In fact, by the age of twenty, the elite performers (violinists) had each totaled 10,000 hours of practice.”

    "The emerging picture from such studies is that 10,000 hours of practice is required to achieve the level of mastery associated with being a WORLD CLASS EXPERT."

    1 HOUR PER DAY OF PRACTICE WOULD REQUIRE 27.3
    YEARS OF PRACTICE TO EQUAL10,000 HOURS.

    3 HOURS OF PRACTICE PER DAY - WITH NO DAYS
    OFF -  WOULD STILL TAKE 9.1 YEARS OF PRACTICE
    TO EQUAL 10,000 HOURS!

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

    Children are the hands we take hold of Heaven with !
     

    I AM RECORDING A NEW ALBUM THIS SUMMER - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT OUR CHILDREN ...

    "Whatever they grow up to be,

    they are still OUR CHILDREN, and the one most important

    of all the things we can give to them is UNCONDITIONAL

    LOVE.  Not a love that depends on ANYTHING AT ALL

    except that they are OUR CHILDREN.”

    ~ Rosaleen Dickson

    CHILDREN ARE THE WORLD'S MOST VALUABLE

    RESOURCE AND ITS BEST HOPE FOR THE FUTURE!

    LOVE THEM UNCONDITIONALLY!

    I AM RECORDING A NEW ALBUM THIS SUMMER - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT ROMANCE ...

    "To be ROMANTIC is quite simply to allow yourself

    to FALL IN LOVE WITH LIFE -- ALL OF LIFE -- and

    experience it FULLY, OPENLY, PASSIONATELY,

    and PURPOSEFULLY."

     ~ Thomas Kinkade

    IS NOT THIS THE TRUE ROMANTIC FEELING ~

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT BALANCE IN LIFE ...

    "If the events of these past days have taught us anything,

    it is to HONOR THE MOMENT. CHERISH those around you.

    Try to FIND A BALANCE between WORK and FAMILY.

    CONTRIBUTE something to your COMMUNITY, and above all,

    SHARE the LOVE you feel for others EACH and EVERY

    DAY ...."

     ~ Dr. Jack Messina
