[quote=Anonymous]Have your FIL read two books written by people who did real research rather than a series of hyperbolic interviews:

1. "Black Box Thinking" by Matthew Syed
2. "Talent is Overrated" by Geoff Colvin

Being great at something isn't a linear function of being a year older. If it was everyone in the world would be underemployed until they hit some arbitrary age. Being great at something isn't a function of doing it for 10,000 hours either. Every day of our lives we see people in the workforce, our kids' school teachers and sports coaches or those who follow the same interests we do who suck at things they've been doing for decades. Nobody on this thread can go to a local driving range and point to Fred Couples' golf swing, but every local schmuck can point to his kid who plays wall ball for an hour a day because he "wants it"? There's a difference between doing something more and being better and a lack of understanding of this is why club lacrosse guys can sell clinics and showcases nobody needs and some sports destination prep schools sell tuitions that don't need to be had. That is exactly the mentality that gets you a cubicle for life later in life. [/quote]
