Response To Malcolm's The Story Of Success

In Malcolm book, The Story of Success, he makes a very important point in the book regarding hard work and success. He argues that 10,000 hours of practice of a certain skill will allow someone to be a professional at that skill. However, in an article in response to Malcolm's argument, Temple's argues that a person must not only practice for 10,000 hours, but also be naturally gifted, or “wired”, to master that particular skill. Temple's argument is correct for a number of reasons.
Some people may disagree with my argument because they believe that success is as simple as “practice, practice, practice”. They believe that experience alone makes a person a professional, and that is true to an extent. However, a professional must also be wired to have a desire to master a particular skill before he can put in the hours towards mastering that skill.
She argues that Warren was born with a brain for business and that his brain was naturally wired to do business. In her article, she says “But was he born with a brain for business — a brain that would lend itself to number-crunching and risk-taking and opportunity-identifying and all the other skills that go into becoming the leading investor of his generation? I say yes.” This states that Warren was born with a brain that can do business, and add that in with 10,000 hours of practice, you get success. Another reason why Temple's argument is right is a statement from Malcolm's The Story of Success. In the statement, he says that being brilliant and wanting to learn was a big part in Bill Joy’s success. The statement says “Bill Joy was brilliant. He wanted to learn. That was a big part of it.” This statement supports Temple argument that just 10,000 hours won’t make a person an expert at something. That person must also be naturally wired to want to learn that
