Don’t compare yourself to the people who put in ten thousand hours, put in ten thousand hours yourself. It’s useless to compare yourself to anyone since we’re all wired differently and more importantly since we’ve all been through such different experiences. So when you see someone you want to emulate, that’s good, but make sure you emulate them in a way that is unique to you.

They’ve put in their ten thousand hours, let that be a motivator for you to do the exact same. Part of your ten thousand hours could be emulating them, but you have to make sure you put your unique spin on it or else you’ll never achieve anything revolutionary innovative, or game-changing, however you want to put it.
