There is a guy I like. 

He says and writes interesting things. 

He says and writes fascinating things. 

His name is Malcolm Gladwell. 

I take lots of things from Malcolm. 

A good insight. 

A different way of looking at things. 

An incredible story. 

A while ago, I was reading something, and he referenced ‘The 10,000 Hour Rule.’ 

I looked into it. 

Short and sweet, if you put 10,000 hours into proper training for something, you can become a pro. 

I want to get better. 

I want to improve my cycling. 

I mean, who does not want to get better at something they love to do? 

But I don’t need to become a pro. 

It is not that I am ‘copping out,’ I just don’t have the time. 

Haha, there are other things in my life that I am working on becoming a ‘Pro.’  

I want to be a ‘really good’ cyclist. 

I am content with ‘really good.’ 

If I heard someone say that ‘TJ, is a really good cyclist,’ I would be blown away. 

Honoured. 

‘Really good’ is achievable. 

Haha, ‘Really good’ I would say is more at the 8,000 hour mark. 

I think I can fit that in. 

And as I work towards that, every hour is one hour better. 

‘The 10,000 Hour Rule…The TJ Way’ 

Insert emoji wearing a graduation cap here. 

‘There is another way to ride.’
