what wonders me is that people manage to write whole books on the subjects you explain. thanks for the work summarizing this down to a couple of minutes.
Geoff Colvin's books explains that "deliberate practice" idea in more detail. The book "Talent is Overrated".
Kevin Pryor Yeah, great book Kevin! I'll probably do a video on it at some point as well :)
I REALLY ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK :) THIS CHANNEL IS GONNA BE HUUUUUUGE!

Thanks
thanks for putting the quotes in the description. Timer saver!
***** You're welcome :)
The thing that is left out on the 10,000 hour part is quality coaching. It gets left out of the rule often, but the study included access to coaches/ teachers. Basically I will not become a world class musician by playing instruments alone in my room. I will need instruction.
always great narrative
That is so true indeed.
But you forgot to mention, the book emphasizes if you were born at the right place at the right time... along with the people that supports during your practice you will make even more success from the start.
I'd Like your videos a lot!! Congrats, have a lot of practical information on a few minutes ;) Actually right now im practice on my stuff !!! :D
Emmanuel Alejandro Martínez Jáquez Haha, thanks! :)
I like the way you present your ideas, look!! i want to start my own business on the net (youtube or blog) but i don't know how, and i can't estimate charges of this kind of business, can you please prepare a video in this topic
Abdelhadi Essaifi Yeah, I might talk about it at some point. The topic is pretty dense, but we live in an age where you can start your business for $10.
Summary of the Implications and Practical Advice from Outliers according to FightMediocrity:
1. When you're on your first few hours, STOP EXPECTING TO BE GOOD!
2. Talent is OVERRATED!
3. As long as you're good enough, DELIBERATE PRACTICE is what will set you apart!
The video is good! I would change the background music to something more "enjoyable/ soft" to the ears. It is almost impossible to pay attention to what you say having such a song on the background.

+FightMediocrity - AMAZING Videos per usual!!! Could you please answer a quick question? Between your videos, books , technique what would you recommend I review so II am better maximizing the FOCUSED or Deliberate work to sharpen skilsl or subject I am studying?
The video seems to indicate you need to spend x amount of hours to attain different levels of mastery. However I want to see what I can do to maximize the information retained and ability to execute within the hours spent as well so I can see results quicker.. Your videos and dedication to your work is incredibly appreciated.. My favorite channel by far :)
My 2 cents would be to know your why, what are you passionate about? A thought experiment that helps me is, If you had a million in the bank what would you be doing anyway? - That is how you will maximise your focus by emphasising your passions and honing your strengths.
I would say the same as "Know Thyself", formulate A BIG REASON why you need your skill. For ex "I want to learn dancing". WHY? Because 1) I want to get a girlfriend and 2) because other methods hasen't worked and 3) to be able to dance on parties
The more reasons you can find why you need the skill the more will your brain think it is important and help you to focus and memorize. If you only have vague reasons your brain will not be convinced to put effort into helping you. CONVINCE YOUR BRAIN!
mejseln agree!
I love your work. You are a genius. I have recently picked up reading and slowly but surly have increase the speed and comprehension. I now read about two hours a day and can finish a book in about a week in a very successful week. I want to read much faster than that. I'm now gonna try the audiobook at double the speed just to see how how that goes. Thanks for the tip btw. And I love all of your videos.
Juan Ruiz Thanks Juan, and wish you the best! :)
Hows your work going?
+Juan Ruiz I recently started reading more. I watched a few videos on youtube and watch the speed reading eye exercise videos. They helped me greatly.

I just watched Antifragile and Outliers reviews. you've misinterpreted the books and turned it into just self-praising. Quit that bullshit, focus on the real amazing theories given out in this book and your videos and your reviews will be 100 times better. You didn't even talk about the fact huge sucess did depend on luck and external conditions which is the whole point of the book !!! WTH !
The violin teacher story in the beginning was a famous case study that happened in Germany. I read, Quiet: the power of introverts, and she cites it in there a well. Glad well talks about hours practiced when in reality the survey of the students wants to show how introverts are better at such diligent things that require many hours of practice.
All this advice is great, many people give up after the first few hours and never allow themselves to reach greatness. I really hope that those individuals watch this video.
***** Thanks Jay! :)
FightMediocrity no problem bro!
Wish I would of seen this when I was 15. I have gotten by on talent my entire life, never did the work. If I had added the work to my talent, I would be a household name. Ce la vie. Will help me in future endeavors.
Really digging this channel man, Keep at it! You got yourself a new subscriber
MrVishyG Haha, thank you! :)
I agree! Keep it up man! I love your channel! :)
Top video mate; definitely noticed this recently with some exams I had. I didn't revise or study outside of class or set homework; did the bare minimum. Did fairly well in some subjects, but for others, not at all.
I started re-writing my notes into bullet-point form after class recently, and I can see a definite improvement in my understanding of those subjects. Therefore I think a major factor in doing well and putting in those hours is self-discipline and being down-to-earth about the future according to your current actions. Motivating myself to sit down, get a pen out, and get organised has seriously enhanced my performance.
robtoe10 Yeah... People don't put in the hours and then say they're not good. :)
Yes, if someone has put in a 1000 hours and you've put in 50, they're going to better than you and it's not because they're good and you're not. :)
it is really helpful... Now i am going to read this book... you truly are helping us to overcome our mediocrity... Thanks............. a lot............................
Before sleeping , I watch your videos regularly. Your work gives me confidence.
lol loved the tennis story.
did you ever get good?
Thanks for the book review... Gladwell is awesome
Your tone of voice and enthusiasm in this video and the one about predictably irrational are really good,lively,fresh and motivating unlike some others but to be fair all the contents are amazing. So if u can kindly keep that tone🙈
You've misinterpreted the book. Gladwell was saying that if you have natural talent to begin with, it takes 10,000 hours for it to manifest. This is a common mistake. See his reddit AMA: "The point is simply that natural ability requires a huge investment of time in order to be made manifest. Unfortunately, sometimes complex ideas get oversimplified in translation."
Furthermore, the 10,000 rule has been severely downplayed. (See Princeton study Deliberate Practice and Performance in Music, Games, Sports, Education, and Professions. - Macnamara, Hambrick, Oswald.) The study argues: "We found that deliberate practice explained less than 1% of variance in performance for professionals." "We conclude that deliberate practice is important, but not as important as has been argued."
Practice is not enough.
I agree, if you want to be the best practice is not enough, but you can become really good at something with 10.000 hours
It's an old and complicated question. Your success is partly genetics, physical nature environment, social environment, and just pure chance. There will never be a real pure study to answer this. Some researchers show that for health, genetics and physical nature environment are tied 50-50 (www nature com/ng/journal/v47/n7/full/ng.3285.html) Health is tied to success after all.
Success is also built by the social environment. John von Neuman is a legend in mathematics. His father was a banker who supplied him with tutors at a very young age. At the age of 15 he was tutored by another famous mathematician, who was brought to tears in their first meeting astonished by his talent. So, some of Neuman's success was probably genetic and lots of it was his family - social environment.
However, there are stories of geniuses appearing out of nowhere. Like Srinivasa Ramanujan who never had a formal education at all. His father was a clerk and his mother was a house wife. He made astounding contribution to mathematics. But how? All he did was learn from wherever he could. Two college lodgers at his parents home? He learned everything they knew. Friend let's him borrow a math book? Learns it all.
I like a saying I once heard. "Genius always finds a way." Can't remember the name, but another math genius attended a middle level school - not an elite one. When confronted as to why he did that? He said: "it has the biggest library and that's what i need."
My point here is, your fate is only predetermined if you believe it. One of these FIghtMediocrity videos makes the same point, maybe it's this one. You DO have to put in an astounding amount of hours into your craft. Forget 10,000...it's way more. But what else do you need? Efficacy.
Ayrton Senna is a well known motorsports driver in Formula 1's greatest era. Why was he the best? He believed that he was chosen by God to be 1st in every race. Often, he spoke about pushing the very limit of what one can do. Another favorite saying for me is "Fear is the enemy of progress".
I believe Fear is a big one. We are constantly slowed down by our hesitations. Even right now, I chose to write this instead of dealing with something that is making me very nervous.
Besides Fear, it is knowledge. What I mean here is the not just the knowledge you learn at school, but experimentation/thinking that is against the crowd. You know the old "Everyone thought flying was impossible before the airplane, now look". I think thinking differently and uniquely combined with having the guts and determination to do it is the REAL key to success.
So, don't let this predetermined future nonsense slow you down. Learn as much as you can, and don't be afraid to try things that are "impossible".
Another book I'd recommend is Mastery by Robert Green.
All of this is argued by philosophers as well. Nietzsche argued for everything being pre- determined, but Sartre said the hell with all that...you're responsible for your own successes and mistakes. Well, while being incredibly highly regarded Nietzsche lost his mind, never got the love of his life, and died young. Is that success? One of his famous quotes is: "when you look into the abyss, the abyss also looks into you."
Now, we can even ask what is success? It is defined by your own consciousness, but your thoughts are shaped by what or who you come into contact with. Are we back on Nature & Environment? Sartre would argue that you are in charge of your own thoughts. So, another point is...don't let others define success for you.
If you add the courage to experiment, willingness to learn from your experiences (be coachable), willingness to access your creativity, gain ideas from tangential/metaphorical/contradictory/unrelated ideas from every possible source, and the power of making how you spend your time indicate to others your key goal and what they should support you with, then it is a very powerful factor. Doing every single problem is an incredibly powerful learning strategy in math or language acquisition. The magic of inspiration is powerful, in science as well as the arts...
i am just reading this book, the first FOUR chapters aren't telling me work hard = success , the writer uses hockey player, baesball player , basketball player for example telling us, if u were born in the wrong month, the chances of YOU being able to even put in those 10,000 hours are almost IMPOSSIBLE!!!! because u won't be in the elite team, without the best trainer, best equipment, best technique, u aren't going to be an elite player! ( it sounded very cruel, but it is also very true!) ... he pointed out computer genius bill gate, steve jobs for example, were born in the RIGHT TIME, because of bill gate's background, he was in an elite school that has computer ( which most people at the time DIDN"T have) also his school allows him to learn , explore, learn outside the class, UW also allowed him to use the computer in the hours that no one is using 3am-6am , so THAT was his advantage. not everyone can be bill Gate, he first needed to be in an elite school, had access to computer, had access to some programming, got permission from his school for doing his own study but getting the credits . BOOM! magic happened .. by the time he reaches 12 grade, he got his 10,000 hours of experience... at least that's what i have gotten from the first 4 chapters i have learned. let alone he mentioned how rich family allows their kids to think, to reason to negotiate with them, where the poor family simply teaches their kid listen to the authorities and be submissive.
All your videos are so interesting, can"t stop watching like when i discovered TED ! Thanks for all the good reading to come too !
Deliberate practice? sounds like G. Colvin.
Great video as always but i find the background music a little distracting.
Do you post outlines in PDF? I'm not sure if I got that from one of your videos, but it would be great to have a printable outline of the animation's big picture. I'm a young Attorney and the videos really help. Keep up the great work!
You're doing something which is 50 times better than watching just simple motivation movies.
wow was that like three or four videos in a week!
Kyle Tallmadge Haha, yeah, I'm going to be putting out a lot more content this year. :)
I really enjoy Gladwells books. I've read them all. I was introduced to him at a honors society conference in San Antonio. He's a great speaker as well

Absolutely Love your videos and your voice over ;) Thank you for creating this!!! I feel like a stalker I'm going through all your videos!!! I ready do like them a lot!
I was looking for my thing that I can practice for hours without getting bored . I just noticed I worked as an accountant for two years I practiced excel for two years
agree! we use animations to teach money skills. took us time to be good! thanks
Dude! In case you didn’t notice...
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY KILLING IT!!!
I love your animations! Keep on doin what you’re doin and the videos coming Pal!
Talent is NOT overrated. It’s misunderstood. Talent is you telling yourself to do this thing, because you need to find something that is hidden within it or connected to it. THAT is the purpose of talent. Your soul is guiding you, nudging you toward where your karma can be resolved.
This is absolutely refreshing. Your patterns of explaining are so precise that is was so easy to understand and completely digest all the information that you presented. Absolutely Remarkable.... :)
Shruti G Thank you!! :)
Should I even read the second half of the book because it's getting repetitive. Can someone tell me what the second half is about?
it's about the first half
Great stories and key examples you can take away, if the first half didn't grip you then you may like my condensed book summary to give you the 4 key messages.
How did you create the animation? it's so amazing :)
FightMediocrity it seems you now are past the 10.000 hours then! Nice video with good examples from your life.
Probably the most motivation and enlightening video anyone has posted. Stranger to stranger, good job.
Michael Hendrickson Haha, thanks Michael! :)
Take away point you have added to the original book content are very valuable. Good insights!! Loved your additions!!
Enjoyable inspiring video, well done!
4ns3l Thank you! :)
Awesome info! Very encouraging, thanks for the upload /hard work.
george loui Thanks George!
Really good presentation...did you read mastery?? it discusses this as well ...deliberate practice and what Robert Calls RESISTANCE Practice. Really enjoyed it...wish you good luck on your future episodes.
tehcno007 Thanks for the positive vibes! :) Yeah, I'm planning on doing Greene's Mastery at some point as well. :)
tehcno007
Seriously love your videos. Amazing book suggestions. I've become such a better person in life after applying what I read now.
Wow you're on a roll this week!
KamiJuno Haha, yeah... :)) I'm going to put out crazy amounts of content this year. :)
Loved the book and this is a great summary... yup... nothing beats the daily deliberate actions. There's no magic to success in anything. Thanks for the great channel, greetings from South Africa.
man,i really appreciates your efforts to animate these books,i love reading but gets easily tired or sleepy after 3-4 hours...after watching this,i feel like i could use more of my imagination now for reading...thanks..i subbed
Make a video for the book of the five rings...
Andre Francis Thanks for recommending, Andre!
Really love your videos keeps me really motivated and very positive in everything I do. Thanks
Nice work (as usual!!) ... I do have a problem with the use of words "Teacher Material", though... The people BETTER than the best are the REAL teacher material - this video equates Teachers to mediocre or below average... That's the exact opposite... (This may be the terminology in the book and not "your" terminology...)
Look at yourself! You are teaching right now in this very video, aren't you! :) ;)
FightMediocrity keep it going! one of my fav channel. value value value. bless
maikelmir Haha, awesome, thank you :)
Not to sound sexist but I call it gamer girl syndrome. When a girl (not all, mind you) sits down to play a video game, after about six minutes they say "I suck" and they lose interests. This is why girls (again, NOT ALL GIRLS, people. I have two gamer girl daughters) don't play games as much as guys. So any time I see someone give up on something right away, male or female, I give them the moniker of "gamer girl".
John Milton also, maybe girls have better things to do than play video games all day
taylorv1020 yeah. I said "all day". Moderation, people.
This is really awesome stuff. The animation really brings it home.
zenrunner5000 Awesome. Thank you! :)
Can you do The Book "The Click Moment: Seizing Opportunity in an Unpredictable World" by Frans Johansson?
In the book, Malcolm never mentions Wayne Getzky. Who was recorded by his father playing Hockey when he started walking and practiced for hours as a child.
Another point, Wayne's birthday January 26th, anyone who has read the first few chapters knows what I mean
I'm sorry you're expecting to get $5000 dollars a minute for "animation" where you have 2d cartoon drawings? Mate, be realistic. No-one is going to pay you that much when your lips don't even move, your characters stand still and your "animations" are as "animated" as PowerPoint slides. Besides I thought you majored as a doctor not an animator - either "sharpen the saw" or don't expect the world from something you don't put as much effort to produce. You're not exactly producing Frozen 4 now are you?
It's funny, actually the book is talking about how luck/history/upbringing/cultural conditioning define success, whereas this book "review" is making an opposite point that hard work will lead you to success.
I'm pretty sure I daydream better than most. I have put in close to 20,000 hours daydreaming over the years. Now, if only I could get paid for this skill I have mastered... 🤔
I really liked this video, you did well.
I have a no. of observations & opinions to offer.
1. Talent is not overrated. I can't forget a popular picture of a boy playing chess with much older men who must be masters in the game. Could the picture have been photoshopped. How many hours do you think a boy under 10 could have put in deliberate practice for?
2. From the book, you didn't mention the importance of opportunity as emphasised in the literature. Opportunity (to do a thing) underlies deliberate practice
3. You didn't mention any point from the second part of the book on the legacy as it refers to our antecedents & prior experience. Again, it was a wonderful video. More of it
such an amazing video man....was really helpful. keep it up! and ty
Good video, good talk, I agree 100%, especially doing that thing myself of sleeping in classes because of the previous night's fatigue... but
this review only covers one chapter of the book. It barely scratched the surface. Is there a more complete version?
Awesomeness at its heights :) love the personal view on the problem/chapter apart from the sole book narrating culture.
You're videos are really inspiring :) Thanks for what you do!
Deliberate hours sound too mechanical for people like me (I'm a Trap musician) well there are days when I don't feel like doing anything and then there are those days when I feel unstoppable. Number of hours compulsorily put into something you love makes it more robotic than humane. Anyways amazing video as usual. Stay awesome.
Excuse me, but what is the name of the song at the end of the video? I would love to listen to the full version (I'm a FL Studio beginner and the song really attracts me...)
I also love the video. It stimulates me to practice something I love doing and improving my skills. Thanks for posting it. :)
Man, what you show about this book is sooo incomplete and narrow... And what's more: that is the case with all the videos where you talk about books I've read. Kudos!! You're really putting very little effort to get huge rewards in numbers of subscriptions... That is efficient. You inspire me.
Shit music that is stupid, unnecessary sound interference!
Here's a question - Why can't Americans create videos without noise? Any shit noise will do - just as long as you don't have to encounter any silent moments. Oh, my God! Not silent moments!!!
I love Outliers. I am not a fan of the way this summarizer makes assumptions about all his classmates' study habits.
Lots of people really do struggle in math. Most fall behind extremely early. Then every course they take tries to build on foundational skills they don't have. It is not that they are all unwilling to practice. They lack comprehension of what they are supposed to be practicing.
The idea that the ONLY factor between world-class and mediocre is the number of hours of practice is patently suspect. That thinking is for those who are afraid to look over the edge of the box. There are many lateral thinking avenues for exceeding the typical.
I liked it. I recommend making the music softer because the music was at times overbearing. Also, work and sounding more natural. It sounds like your reading a script while presenting in front of your class. It's the little things.
Woah🤯 i'm watching this vid after 7years u posted, it's still so relevant Awesome content 💯thank u
I wish they taught me this at school.
Spade Folk Hahahaha :))
I read the book and theres a lot more than just puting the hours. It goes over diferent succes cases (Gates, Beatles, etc) and explains the other thing that made them succesful (environment, luck (lots of it), context, etc).
This video has value but its also incomplete.
Thanks for your work and time you put into making this. However, the background music is so disturbing. I have a hard time listening to your voice because of this.
10000 hr rule is covered here but the book says a lot more about how this rule alone won’t you make you successful. So yeah putting 10000 hrs will make you an expert but converting that to success in life in a different thing
I would only practice something for 10,000 hours if I was really interested in it. Maybe first. its not the number of hours but the interest?
Outliers is a stupid book, Malcolm always emphasize "Outside Force" to be successful, because of this bcoz of that someone this someone that 🙄
I just finished listening to the audio book and was completely fascinated with Malcolm's arguments. While its reassuring to hear that successful people such as the likes of Bill Gates and Oppenheimer are not saints or ethereal beings but ordinary people with humble beginnings but it's also scary to hear that you can have all the world's hard work but it would be in vain unless the stars are aligned and you just so happen to be at the right time and right place. So what do I got to do to get successful?
I love that review! Thanks FightMediocrity!
I don't usually write comments but your video is great. Keep doing what you're doing.
Great video, thank you! The background music is super annoying though!
I know that this is not the point, but I love your drawings; especially how you give your little guy different appearances. As for the content. I have found that kills do not actually take as long to learn as most people think.There is a Ted talk that say that it takes about twenty hours. That is not to say he will become a master, but he will be able to excercise the skill. Tehat being said, I find that th
Woah really amazing for a book review!! Really motivating as well.
Reminds me of the part in the old ninja turtles movie where Michelangelo and the foot soldier are going back and forth trying to see who's better with the nunchucks. All of sudden Mikey, to the foot soldier's disbelief, just starts spinning them super fast on the tip of his finger like it's the easiest thing in the world to him, and he tells the foot soldier, "Keep practicing!"
doobdoob2 Hahaha, yep :))
Informative and entertaining at the same time. good luck bro !!!
I just got this book!! can u do more please I know the plane section scared the shit out of me
Louis Luzuka Hahaha, more coming soon Louis! :)
This is one of the best channel on YT :)
Flip Haha, thank you!! :)
i love u man !
hey bro i have watch ur channel for a week. and now I think u r 1 of men who gonna change my life. u hv change the way of my think. am 22 years old teenager still in universty . after watching sm of ur videos i hv start 2 write 12 goals i should made in this year, i hope that i can be like u . pray for me ^ _ ^ thanks alot
I can't agree with this more. I had the tools to play guitar, but it took 2 years before anyone would take me seriously. And more years of practicing to where I got good enough to even try out for a band. No one is a "natural". Maybe you have some natural skills, but it takes hard work to get where you want to be. It's a hard lesson I had to learn, but it has served me well thoughout the years. I'll also add that when I first started playing, I was doing it 6-8 hours a day. Took a long time, but it paid off in the end. Practice people! That's the only way you get good!
Unchained With The Captain Yep... :)
I would say that there is such a thing referred to as "natural talent," but it's not what you think it is. It's really committed interest combined with a projected sense of success which winds up manifesting itself into reality. Distilling it all down to only practice hours is really missing the point.
All very true......
Hi there! Can you helped me suggest what is a good app for editing videos?I happened to watched your video last year and im really fascinated to it i cant help watcehd it multiple times. I want also to share the knowledge and wisdom i have. you are one of the reasons why i started to read book and keep myself motivated to keep reading. i can feel your emotions when i watched your poor dad rich dad videos. you are very cool man. thank you so much!
The only talent in my personal opinion is having a good voice to be a singer :)
