"Talent is Overrated"

Loved this interview on Charlie Rose about Geoff Colvin's book, Talent is Overrated. (And what a relief I don't have to read the book now...)
Mr Colvin reviews studies on high achievers and affirms the effectiveness of hard work...duh. But it's not just about putting in the hours. It's about cultivating what Colvin describes as "deliberate practice."
He does say it's easier if you start earlier - bummer. But you can still effect dramatic progress with deliberate practice. The "ten year rule" applies to those who most all who achieve world class ability - ten years of daily practice.
