As we are gettting older, we're getting more and more busy. Time seems to speed up and becomes more precious. This holds us back from learning something new, puts aside our hobbies, career plans and dreams. And when you remember that for learning a new skill it takes approximately 10,000 hours, you want to give up whatever it is even before you starting it. Right?
Josh Kaufman, the author of two great bestsellers: The Personal MBA: Master the Art of Business and The First 20 Hours: How to Learn Anything... Fast! rejects this common belief and argues that everyone can acquire any skill just in 20 hours:
The author tells that the main barriers in learning new skills are not our capacity to learn, but our attitude to ourselves. In short, if you believe you are able to do it, then you will do it. Once the emotional barrier is removed, you are able to start learning new things in just 20 hours. Learn more on Josh Kaufman's website.
