10,000 repeats is the number to reach high skill level in something, by some accounts. What have you done at least 10,000 times? What if you've done 100,000 of something?
I've..
-played 10,000+ games of warcraft III
-lived 10,000 days (am I a pro in living now? Probably not so.)
-placed at least 60,000 telephone calls. Might be 80,000. I'm not sure. Probably not 100,000.
-edited much more than 100,000 lines of program code
-said at least a sentence to 10,000 people
-wrote at least 10,000 lines of text by hand to all my notebooks. Might go over 100,000
-practiced voice acting, pronouncing something, or something similar at least 10,000 times, if short moments count
-drank at least 10,000 bewerages
Then there's obvious things giving numbers much higher than 10,000, including but not limited to: speaking a word, having a thought, opening a door, etc. Some of these might run in the millions. I don't think that most people who've had a million thoughts count as genius.
I don't know what it means to me, but what have you done at least 10,000 times?
Extra: do you think this tells something of you, maybe in terms of MBTI or some other personality system?
