Over at Non-Stick Plans, Michael recently posted Ronald Searle’s three requirements for success:
- working discipline,
- absolute command of the medium and
- constant productivity.
Nonetheless, Searle's thoughts overlap nicely with Gladwell's "10,000-Hour Rule." ("No one gets to the top unless he or she puts in 10,000 hours of practice in a field, be it computer software, hockey, music, or law." -- Business Week review of Outliers)

I think you're right about circumstance, including character as well perhaps, being the added ingredient. But the point may be that application and dedication to your chosen field can sometimes override circumstance.
(I'm always rather flippant to your comments on Nonstick but I do appreciate them. Thanks).
Michael: Yes, character is a key ingredient as well. And yes, I agree that without application and dedication, success is rather unlikely.
Thanks for stopping by!
