I&#39;ve been docketing for IP (patents and trademarks) for 6 years now and I&#39;m pretty darn good at it. <br /><br />We&#39;ll see how valuable I am when we move. Will my law firm figure out a way to keep me working from KY or will they let me go thinking they can find someone else with my expertise?Cyndihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06510476607735574946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18092664.post-54219481297584647732009-08-28T07:33:32.046-04:002009-08-28T07:33:32.046-04:00Sorry...I meant to say a modern day STAT.eric wrighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11029885831224750447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18092664.post-7328069813582502672009-08-28T06:46:25.254-04:002009-08-28T06:46:25.254-04:00Thing is this is a modem day star. Malcolm Gladwell brought it up in his book Outliers. It holds true for prfessional athletes,compared to others...musicians compared to others. I found this a call to spend more time pursueing, but also a call to hang in there. Certainly explains the wisdom of age. <br /><br />I was talking with a friend last night...10,000 hours is also equal to 40 hours a week for about 5 years...sounds like the experience requirement for a job.eric wrighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11029885831224750447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18092664.post-68960109699200126582009-08-27T21:29:29.888-04:002009-08-27T21:29:29.888-04:00I&#39;m now starting to feel silly when I say I&#39;m not good at anything. I rarely finish any hobby I start. Definitely not even 2,000 hours. (I guess I&#39;m good at trying new things though...)Cyndihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06510476607735574946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18092664.post-82520606907573658222009-08-27T21:04:09.872-04:002009-08-27T21:04:09.872-04:00Wow, 10,000 hours really puts it into perspective. Good questions--what would our lives be like at 10,000 with the Word? <br /><br />When you think of the great leaders of the church, many of them did spend literally hours a day reading Scripture and praying, not to mention studying and preaching. <br /><br />Life moves at such a different pace today. Is it possible to spend that kind of time doing those things today? I wonder.Andy Lauerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02765202825773736485noreply@blogger.com
